Narrative:

While boarding we received an 'electrical smoke' on cap and a faint trace of smoke in cockpit only. Carried out procedures and deplaned passenger normally because the situation didn't warrant an emergency evacuate/evacuation. No injuries. Per our procedures if situation is not life threatening then evacuate/evacuation isn't required. Faint smoke caused by over-servicing engine oil. Could not duplicate.
