Home EV charger installation for Castlepark households
- 01
Two electric cars, one home
More households now run two electric cars. A dual-socket charger, or two chargers that share the power between them, lets both cars charge overnight without overloading the main fuse. The chargers split the available power and give each car a fair share by morning.

Choosing a tethered cable length
Tethered chargers usually come with a cable around five metres or seven and a half metres long. A longer cable gives more freedom in how you park, but it's bulkier to wind up. We measure from the charger to your car's charging flap before you order.

Stopping others using your charger
If your charger is in reach of the street, you may want to stop anyone else plugging in. Many chargers can be locked through the app, with a key or with a card, so they only charge when you allow it. It's worth deciding on this before choosing a model in Castlepark.
Booking home EV charger installation in Castlepark
SM Electrical is based in Irvine, so Castlepark homes are just a short drive away. A quick survey lets us see your parking, consumer unit and earthing, measure the cable route and give you a free quote for the charger and installation.
On installation day, the power is off for part of the job while the charger's circuit is connected. Once it's tested, we help you link the app and leave the paperwork with you, so you can plug in that evening.

Home EV charger installation in Castlepark: your questions
Can I fit a charger if my driveway is shared in Castlepark?
Often, yes, but check your title deeds and speak to your neighbour first, as a shared drive may come with rights for both of you. The charger itself goes on your own wall, and the cable should never trail across the part your neighbour uses to get in and out.
How high is a home EV charger mounted in Castlepark?
Most chargers are fitted so the socket or holster sits around a metre or a little higher from the ground, which is comfortable to reach and keeps it clear of splashes. The maker's instructions give a range, and we agree the exact height with you on the day.
What if my consumer unit in Castlepark is already full?
A full board doesn't rule out a charger. Often a small separate unit is fitted beside the meter to supply the charger on its own circuit. If the main board is old or lacks protection, we'll explain whether replacing it is the better option.
How soon can I use my new charger in Castlepark?
Straight away. Once it's fitted, tested and set up, you can plug in and charge on the same day. We help you connect the app before we leave, so scheduled off-peak charging is ready from the first night if your tariff offers it.
