XPENG G9 scheduled charging not starting

Use this route when your supplied handbook and controls match the G9 2025 international English, PDF 292–293 / printed 294–295 edition. Other generations and UK derivatives need their matching instructions.

Start here

Use AC slow charging while parked. Check the actual tariff window and local clock, target charge and ready supply; note existing car, wallbox and energy-app settings before changing them. If an energy provider controls charging, keep its supported configuration.

1. On the centre display open Charging and Discharging, then Charging.
2. Enable Slow Charging Appointment and set the desired start and end time.
3. For a car-controlled diagnostic comparison, disable a competing wallbox schedule so the supply is ready. If your tariff provider controls charging, use its supported setup instead.
4. Connect the cable, confirm the car shows a waiting or scheduled state, then lock the vehicle as the handbook instructs.
5. Check again shortly after the start time. Record the display message and charger status if energy flow does not begin.

What success looks like

Before the start time, the car should acknowledge the connected cable and scheduled state rather than report an immediate charging fault. At the selected start time, the charge point should energise and the vehicle should show active AC charging.

Stop for a fault warning, heat, smell, damage or internally wet charging equipment. Only compare immediate charging without those symptoms; check tariff cost first, restore your original settings afterwards and follow an energy provider’s required setup. Do not use a battery disconnect or emergency connector release for a timer problem.

If that did not work

While parked, first check that the target is above the battery’s current percentage; reaching the target correctly stops charging.

Compare one immediate session

1. For a supervised immediate-charge comparison, open Charging and Discharging → Charging, switch Slow Charging Appointment off, and make the wallbox supply available using its normal control. Keep an energy-provider-managed installation in its required configuration and choose an acceptable tariff period.
2. Connect normally and check for active charging on the car and wallbox.

If energy flows now: the cable/supply can charge the car: restore one intended scheduler, check its local clock, days and start/end times, then verify the next window.

If energy does not flow: read whether the car sees the cable and whether the wallbox is waiting for authorisation or reports a fault. Complete its normal authorisation if requested; stop on a fault rather than repeatedly reconnecting. A timer change cannot repair a missing supply.

Ask XPENG to check the saved appointment and clock behaviour for the exact XOS build; give the chargepoint operator the unit ID, session time and supply/status messages.
