Ok – so our offer on a house has been accepted and our home is going on the market and if all goes well then we hope to be moving house soonish.
My question is …do I take my charger with me? Fitted via EDF. Do we pay and get a new one fitted but we won’t be eligible for a govt grant? Do we buy a ‘granny’ cable – but that’s not an idea solution?
Advice welcome.
Congratulations first on your new home……….. Given its not likely to be a selling point as there’s not yet a huge percentage of potential buyers with EVs I would be taking my CP with me especially if its been reliable as some have had issues with theirs.
I would take it with me. I think you need permission from OELV to move it but not sure how many people actually do that.
I dont think you are far from me (I work in St Albans) so if you need a lend of a granny cable, give me a shout.
That’s very sweet huwwatkins – I’ll bear that in mind. But I actually have plenty of time to make decisions …my house goes on the market on Monday hopefully. So no sale yet. You are in my patch though huwwatkins so if you know anyone who wants to buy a splendid house in Cheverells Green (Parish of Flamstead) outside St Albans then let them know it will appear in Fine & Country next week!!
I’ll ask EDF if they can move it and cost. It goes with the vehicle right?
Thank you Mo – although not fait accompli as yet. But I’m on it!
From memory, the OLEV tie in period is a year so if you have had the charger longer than that then there is no need to tell them.
Unfortunately I don’t think you will be eligible for a new charger as the car has had its allocation so the question is to compare disconnection costs compared to the cost of a bare unit as installation at your new property will be a constant. One thing to bear in mind is that a new unit will have a new warranty.
