The XPeng P7 does not have a power-off button. Here is some relevant information about the XPeng P7: 1. Exterior Design: The XPeng P7 features the streamlined silhouette typical of a coupe, with low-drag design elements such as a fastback extending into a ducktail spoiler, semi-hidden wipers, and low-drag exterior mirrors. Additionally, the AGS active grille and an almost completely flat underbody contribute to reducing the drag coefficient, which plays a key role in enhancing the vehicle's range. The XPeng P7 Wing Edition incorporates avant-garde scissor doors at the front and comes with an exclusive Hyper Green exterior paint. The electric gull-wing doors are equipped with intelligent obstacle-avoidance radar. 2. Battery Features: The XPeng P7 is equipped with the latest generation of prismatic battery cells, with a rated energy of 80.87 kWh and an energy density of up to 170 Wh/kg. It also integrates the motor, electronic control unit, and reducer into a high-performance three-in-one electric drive system. Compared to traditional dispersed electric drive layouts, this three-in-one system offers higher efficiency, a more compact structure, lighter weight, more organized in-vehicle arrangement, and stronger reliability.
Turning off the XPeng P7 is actually very simple. Every time I finish driving, I press the brake pedal and shift the gear to P, and the car will automatically engage the parking brake. Then, I just press the start button once, and when the dashboard and center screen go completely dark, it means the car has successfully turned off. However, remember to bring the car key or have the phone Bluetooth key ready to start the car again. Once, I did this in a mall parking garage and noticed the door handles automatically retracted, which means the power-off protection was activated. This feature is great in smart cars, unlike old fuel cars where you had to turn the key. After turning off, it's recommended to set a charging schedule, especially when the battery is low, to save a trip to the charging station later.
I've gone through the shutdown procedure for the XPeng P7 several times. Typically, you need to press the brake pedal, shift into P gear, then press and hold the P button on the gear lever, followed by pressing the start button. The whole process can be completed within five seconds. The most intuitive confirmation is seeing the side mirrors automatically fold, which indicates the system is completely powered off. Pay special attention to the key detection range—I once couldn't shut down the car because the key was left in the trunk. Here's a lesser-known fact: if you walk more than five meters away from the car with your phone's Bluetooth key, it will automatically lock and shut down, but remember to enable this feature in the APP. Before shutting down while charging, it's advisable to plug in the charging gun first to avoid the system repeatedly waking up.
As an electric vehicle, the Xpeng P7 has a very intelligent shutdown logic. After parking and pressing the P gear, the system enters standby mode. At this point, a short press of the start button locks the car without powering off, which is useful for temporary errands; a long press for three seconds completely powers down and shuts off the vehicle. From the outside, the daytime running lights turning off is a successful indicator. Be careful not to operate near the charging port when it's wet to avoid splashing water—my lesson was encountering a false fault code. In fact, the vehicle will automatically power off after 15 minutes of inactivity, but it's best not to rely on this feature.
