Hi everyone, I think I'm posting this in the right place, but if not, please feel free to move to the right section (seems to be both a supercharging and home charging forum). I'm going to be moving homes, and currently have a Gen2 Tesla Home charger installed. I don't know how much an electrician would charge to un-install the charger in the garage, so that I could take it with me to the new house. I've read some mixed reviews about the new Gen3 HPWC vs. Gen 2. It cost $1k for the charger install here (including wiring from the basement). I assume it probably will cost less than 500$ to just detach the charger from the wall and do whatever needs to be done to leave a safe "stump" plug.
My question: Is it worth the hassle of having the Gen 2 charger removed to take to the new house? I'm not sure how much of a selling point it will be to any potential buyer. We are an all-tesla household, with 2 cars, and we've just bounced between using the HPWC and the regular 120V plug that comes with the car to trickle charge the second car and alternate when needed. I guess potential considerations for the new place are to either use same setup (works just fine for us) vs. using 2 HPWCs to load share. My understanding is that the gen 2 vs 3 HPWC are not compatible with each other, and if you want to load share, you'll need them to all be of the same 'generation'. The Gen 3 charger seems to deliver a slightly slower max charge rate (I think something like 70 vs. 74 km/hr in Gen 2). That doesn't really make a difference to me. Any other reason to prefer one version over the other? Is the hassle of uninstalling the charger worth it given the cost (I'm assuming at least $1-200 to remove the old charger vs. $500 to buy a new one). Anyone been in this situation before/have any advice?
