2 Answers
After parking the vehicle, take out the charging gun and insert it into the charging port, then scan the QR code to initiate charging. Unlock the vehicle to open the charging socket: Ensure the power gear is in the OFF position, unlock the vehicle, then open the cover and protective cap of the AC charging socket. Start charging: Connect the charging plug from the charging station to the vehicle socket, follow the guided steps on the charging equipment to start charging. The charging connection indicator light will illuminate, and the instrument cluster will display the charging interface. Complete charging: End the charging session by unlocking the vehicle, adjusting settings on the charging equipment, or when the battery is fully charged.
Charging my personal XPENG vehicle is quite straightforward, primarily achieved through AC charging piles or DC supercharging stations. At home, I simply plug in the portable charging cable that came with the car into a standard wall socket, or use an installed home charging box – this allows a full charge from zero in about eight hours overnight. When out and about, XPENG operates its own charging network; I frequently use the mobile app to locate nearby supercharging stations. Plugging into a fast charger gets me to 80% in just 30 minutes, which is incredibly convenient. It's important to regularly clean the charging port to prevent dust buildup that could affect connectivity, thereby protecting battery longevity. Additionally, XPENG supports multiple charging protocols and is compatible with most public chargers, so I never worry about finding a charging point. Before daily drives, I prefer scheduling charging times via the app to avoid peak electricity rates, saving a significant amount on costs.
