XPENG P7+ scheduled charging not starting
Open Charging and Discharging → Charging → Slow Charging Appointment on the P7+ to choose an AC charging time. The handbook also supports control through the XPENG app; check the car and charger when the window starts.
Use this route when your supplied handbook and controls match the P7+ 2026 international English, PDF 339–340 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.
- Choose either the P7+ central display or XPENG app as the scheduler.
- On the central display use Charging and Discharging, Charging, then Slow Charging Appointment.
- Set a short test window a few minutes ahead. Connect the cable and lock the car.
- Confirm the car shows that it is waiting for a scheduled charge.
- Return after the start time and record both the P7+ charging state and wallbox indicator.
What success looks like
The P7+ waits without a fault before the scheduled time, then begins AC charging inside the chosen window. An app notification or energy reading may lag, so confirm on both vehicle and charger before deciding it failed.
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
- 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.
- 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 time-zone handling on the exact full XOS build; ask the chargepoint provider to check session and supply if immediate charging also fails.
