Park homes often sit on licensed sites where the pitch electricity is limited and the site owner owns the supply arrangement. A 32 amp charger may be more than the pitch connection can take, and you may not be allowed to alter the supply pillar. Talk to the site before you buy a wallbox. Some pitches can take a modest charger or a controlled load. Some cannot without a site-wide upgrade. The earthing on caravan supplies is its own design topic and not a place for guesswork.
What goes wrong with eV charger installation on a park home
The mistake is a tether into the pitch socket via adapters every night, or a private trench across a neighbour's pitch.

EV charger installation on a park home: questions for the first visit
A lower-rate, properly designed point may be the honest outcome. A 7 kW badge that the pillar cannot feed is not.
How eV charger installation on a park home moves the job
Site upgrades are a park cost, sometimes shared. A single resident cannot decide them. Budget time as well as money.
Frequently asked questions
Is a park home a dwelling for grants?
Treat eligibility as a question for the live scheme, with the site rules alongside. Do not assume a house grant fits a pitch agreement.
Can we have 3 kW only?
If the design and the site agree, a lower rate can be the right charger. It must still be a proper circuit.
Who certificates it?
The electrician who does the work, within the permission the site gave.
What if the site refuses?
Then you use public or workplace charging. A refusal is the end of the install.
