Moving home comes with a long to-do list, from packing boxes to updating your address. One thing many electric vehicle owners don't realise is that you can often take your EV charger with you.

If you've invested in a quality home EV charger, there's usually no need to leave it behind. In many cases, it can be professionally removed from your current property and reinstalled at your new home, helping you continue charging your EV with a charger you already know and trust.

At Aero EV, we provide EV charger relocation services, making the process as straightforward as possible.

Can You Move an EV Charger to a New House?

Yes – in most cases, you can.

Most modern home EV chargers can be safely disconnected, removed and installed at another property by a qualified installer.

Whether you're moving across town or relocating further afield, taking your charger with you could be a practical and cost-effective option.

However, every installation is different, which is why it's important to have the charger assessed before it's removed.

Why Take Your EV Charger With You?

If your charger is still in great condition, relocating it can make perfect sense.

Some of the benefits include:
- Continue using a charger you're familiar with
- Avoid leaving behind a valuable piece of equipment
- Get your new home ready for EV charging sooner
- Reduce unnecessary waste by reusing your existing charger
- Future-proof your new property from day one

For many homeowners, it's simply one less thing to think about during the move.

What Does an EV Charger Relocation Involve?

Relocating an EV charger is much more than taking it off the wall and fitting it somewhere else.

A professional relocation typically includes:

Safe Removal

Your existing charger is carefully disconnected and removed without damaging the unit where possible.

Inspection of the Charger

Before reinstalling it, we'll inspect the charger to ensure it's suitable for reuse and still meets current safety requirements.

Survey of Your New Property

Every home is different.

We'll assess:
- The location of your consumer unit
- Your electrical supply
- Where you park your vehicle
- The best position for the charger
- Cable routing options
- Any additional work required for the new installation

This helps ensure the charger is installed safely and in the most practical location.

Professional Reinstallation

Once everything has been checked, your charger is installed, tested and commissioned just as it would be with a brand-new installation.

We'll also make sure it's working correctly before we leave.

Can Every EV Charger Be Relocated?

Often, yes – but not always.

Whether your charger can be moved depends on several factors, including:
- The age of the charger
- Its overall condition
- The manufacturer
- Current electrical regulations
- Compatibility with your new property's electrical supply

If your charger is several years old, it may be worth comparing the cost and features of a new smart charger before deciding to relocate it.

We'll always give honest advice based on what's best for your situation.

Can I Remove My EV Charger Myself?

No, we wouldn't recommend it.

An EV charger is permanently connected to your home's electrical system and should only be removed by a qualified installer.

Incorrect removal could:
- Damage the charger
- Damage your electrical installation
- Create safety risks
- Affect warranties or future operation

Using a professional ensures everything is disconnected safely and ready for installation at your new home.

What If My New House Doesn't Have the Same Layout?

That's completely normal.

Every property is different, and the charger doesn't have to be installed in exactly the same way as it was before.

During the survey, we'll recommend the best location based on:
- Where you park
- Cable reach
- Ease of daily charging
- Future-proofing
- Electrical requirements

Our goal is to make charging at your new home as convenient as possible.

Is It Better to Move My Existing Charger or Buy a New One?

There's no one-size-fits-all answer.

If your charger is relatively new, reliable and has the smart features you need, relocating it could be an excellent option.

However, if you've had it for several years, or you're looking for features like improved solar integration, smarter energy management or enhanced app functionality, moving house can also be the ideal time to upgrade.

We'll help you weigh up both options so you can make an informed decision.
