Moving house with an EV charger? We'll move it for you

If you've got a wall-mounted EV charger at your current property, it's an asset worth taking with you - the hardware and the install both cost real money. Rather than leaving it behind for the new owners, we can professionally remove it from your old property and reinstall it at your new one.

This isn't a service most installers actively offer. We do.

A real customer who did exactly this

"Ashley was amazing! He removed my EV charger from my old house and came back and reinstalled at my new house... would highly recommend and wouldn't use anybody else now for any electrical work."

That's the job in two steps - tidy removal at the old place, proper reinstall at the new one - done by the same electrician for continuity.

Why this is worth doing

A 7kW wall charger is a meaningful piece of kit. Replacing it brand new at your next house means buying the unit again and paying for another full install - relocating is typically a fraction of that.

Beyond the cost, there's also the question of compatibility. If you're already running an Octopus Go tariff, an OZEV-grant-approved charger, or a charger that's integrated with your home battery setup, you don't necessarily want to start over. Taking your existing charger means keeping the configuration you already know works.

What's involved

Removal at the old property:

• Disconnect the charger safely and isolate the supply
• Remove the charger and any external cable runs
• Make safe and tidy the consumer unit and any leftover wall fixings
• Provide electrical certification for the work

Reinstall at the new property:

• Survey the new property's electrical setup and parking arrangements
• Plan the cable route from the consumer unit to the chosen mounting point
• Install with armoured cable rated for outdoor use where required
• Test, commission and provide full NAPIT electrical certification
• Configure the charger for your tariff and any home battery / solar setup at the new property

If your new property's existing electrics aren't suitable for an EV charger (older consumer unit, capacity issues), we'll tell you up front and quote any necessary work separately.

Solar / battery integration at the new house

If your new property has solar or a battery already, or you're planning to add either, we can integrate the charger as part of the move. We have experience with GivEnergy systems and can configure smart charging to match solar generation and time-of-use tariffs like Octopus Intelligent Go. We're also an Octopus Energy Trusted Partner and install all of the Octopus chargers - so if you're switching brands as part of the move, we can handle that too.

What if the new property needs supply upgrades?

We'll check during the survey. Most modern domestic supplies have plenty of headroom for a 7kW charger, but if you've moved into an older property or one with an undersized supply, we'll flag it. We can typically sort upgrades or recommend you speak to your DNO if needed.

What we charge

Each job is different - the cost depends on:

• The cable route at the new property
• Whether the consumer unit needs any work
• Whether the original charger needs a service or any parts after removal
• Distance / scheduling

We give you a clear written quote up front, with no hidden costs. Both parts of the job (removal and reinstall) can be quoted separately if the move timing means a gap between them.

• Honest advice - if your existing charger isn't worth moving, we'll tell you

Coverage

Based in Prestwich, we cover the whole of Greater Manchester for EV charger relocations - including both ends of the move where they're both within the region.

If you're moving from outside Greater Manchester or to a property outside our area, get in touch anyway and we'll see what we can do.

Get in touch

Plan ahead - if you're moving in the next few weeks, the sooner you get in touch the easier it is to schedule both visits without a gap. Contact us today for a free quote on relocating your EV charger.
