ᐅ Electrical Connection – Conduit to Garage / Electric Vehicle Charging Station

Hello everyone,
We have a garage about 30 meters (100 feet) away from our house, accessible via a shared driveway. (I have attached an overview image to this post.) The shared driveway will be renovated soon, and we want to supply electricity to our garage. Currently, the plan is to install a standard outdoor power cable rated for 0.03A.
To allow for the possibility of installing an additional cable in the future, we are considering running the cable through a suitably sized empty conduit for protection. What type and diameter of conduit would be best for this? The external contractor suggested using a PE (polyethylene) conduit to avoid problematic bends when pulling the cable through later.
For example, an electric vehicle charging station might require a high-voltage cable. Would it be better to install the high-voltage cable at the same time? Does anyone have recommendations on the best type, size, or conductor thickness for the high-voltage cable? Is there any reason not to install it as a precaution, without connecting it immediately?
Thanks in advance for all your answers!

This has confirmed for me that we will definitely have a suitable conduit installed, and we will run both the standard cable and a 5x10mm (0.2x0.4 inch) electrical cable through it.
