There was a period of time where fuel doors were relocated to the side less likely to sustain a direct side hit. But then it was realized that inconvenience to the driver was more important. Now we have a mixture of those philosophies.
Of course EV side collisions are not as dangerous (less likely to ignite), So driver convenience dictates. Now as to why they didn't follow the driver in those 'right hand' drive countries.... laziness of engineers? Most likely would require two versions of the same spare parts.
