moving an ev charger

[PeakSteve]

my son has recently had an ev charger installed for his car (last week) cost was £900, simple run ,consumer unit on outside wall ,drill through to garage and armour cable run of 3 metres to the charging point.Not disputing the cost as hopefully they have provided the relevant certs etc.

now that his wife has seen where it is she wants it moved to the other side of the garage, again simple high level surface run and out through the garage wall to the new position. approx 3 metres away The company want £350 to do this.....

My question is do we get them back or can I move it for him ?

any thoughts,

WHAT EV Charger? That "Armoured cable" most likely includes a CAT 5 or control pair of signal wires as well as mains (depending on the charge point). So beware of that.

How will this impact warranty?

The supply cable does not come with the EVSE, and instead provided by installer....

Just extend the cable and use suitable glanded junction boxes....

However, some Manufacturers will only guarantee the item if it is installed by a professional.

Ffs....no different to extending any cable....just use the right cable !

I'm pretty sure the OP would have sorted it by now, as he's had since the middle of January
