The Challenge: Planning a route to individual parking spaces

Preparing charging infrastructure in an underground communal car park means considering shared routes, the existing supply and the route to each individual space. Future charging points still need their own specification, connection and commissioning.

The Solution

Communal parking electrical infrastructure prepared for future EV charging in Calahonda, Mijas. This is make-ready work, not evidence of a completed or operational charging point.

Technical Specifications

  • Make-ready electrical infrastructure in a Calahonda communal garage
  • Cable tray and routing work shown in the original photographs
  • Zaptec-related equipment and Toscano protection enclosure photographed during preparation
  • Future chargers require compatibility checks, connection, testing and applicable documentation
  • No active bay count, resident billing or commissioning outcome is asserted

Our Installation Process

1

Shared cable route

The photographs document containment through the underground parking area. The route and any future extensions must be assessed against the building and installation requirements.

2

Preparation is not commissioning

Equipment photographs do not demonstrate an operational charging service. Charger selection, protection, load controls and documentation must be confirmed for the final installation.

Specify charging against the vehicle and supply

A 7.4 kW, 11 kW or 22 kW equipment rating is not a promise of delivered power. Vehicle AC limits, phases, supply capacity and configured current determine charging. Cable sizing, earthing, RCD/DC fault protection, surge protection and documentation must follow the applicable design, REBT/ITC-BT-52 and manufacturer instructions.

Communal private-space charging has a defined notification rule

LPH article 17.5 provides prior notification for private-use charging in an individual garage space, with installation and consumption costs borne by the interested users. Shared infrastructure changes or other arrangements may require additional assessment; do not assume either universal neighbour consent or unrestricted work.

Check current incentive eligibility before budgeting

An eligible spending base is not the deduction itself. Confirm the current tax rule, dates, payment method, installation use and subsidised amounts with AEAT. Load management and solar compatibility also need model-specific checks; neither guarantees free charging or prevents every electrical trip.
