XPENG P7 AWD Performance EV charger: which one fits best?
The XPENG P7 AWD Performance charges at home at a maximum of 11 kW AC through a Type 2 connection. That figure settles the choice for you: an 11 kW charger uses this sedan's onboard charger to the full, while a heavier 22 kW unit adds no speed at all. Want to compare the versions?

Which EV charger suits the XPENG P7 AWD Performance?
The P7 AWD Performance draws a maximum of 11 kW at home, so an 11 kW charger is the logical choice: quick enough to fill the large 82.7 kWh battery overnight. A 22 kW unit is not wrong, it simply costs more without charging this car any faster.
From there, three features decide which model suits you:
A MID meter, a certified kWh meter that records every session accurately. That certified reading is what lets you account for home-charged electricity with an employer or lease company. In the Netherlands it is also the condition for the ERE scheme, worth up to 500 euro a year to private drivers, though that scheme applies in the Netherlands only. See our EV chargers with a MID meter.
Dynamic load balancing, where the charger adjusts its power to whatever your fuse box can spare, so your main fuse does not trip. With a battery this size the P7 spends a long stretch on the charger, which makes that automatic adjustment worth having. See our EV chargers with dynamic load balancing.
App control, to schedule the P7's long charging session during off-peak hours. See our EV chargers with an app.
For a straightforward setup at home, start with our home EV chargers. We always recommend having the connection fitted by a certified electrician, which is safer and matters for your insurance. We arrange the installation in the Netherlands, Flemish Belgium and Germany; elsewhere we ship the charger to you and a local electrician fits it.
How long does the XPENG P7 AWD Performance take to charge?
With an 11 kW charger you fill the 82.7 kWh battery in roughly 7.5 hours (82.7 kWh divided by 11 kW). For that full power you need a three-phase supply at home. On a single-phase connection the P7 charges more slowly, up to about 7.4 kW depending on your circuit, and a full charge takes correspondingly longer. Plug the car in during the evening and it is ready by morning.

Frequently asked questions
Does the XPENG P7 AWD Performance need a three-phase connection?
For the full 11 kW, yes. The P7 AWD Performance charges on three phases, so a three-phase supply in your fuse box gets you the maximum. On a single-phase connection you charge more slowly, up to about 7.4 kW depending on your circuit, regardless of what the charger itself can deliver.
What is the battery size of the XPENG P7 AWD Performance?
This version has a usable capacity of 82.7 kWh, good for up to approximately 505 km WLTP. That is a large pack for a sedan, which is precisely why the charging power at home matters: at 11 kW a full charge takes about 7.5 hours, so an overnight session covers it comfortably.
Why does a MID meter matter for the XPENG P7 AWD Performance?
A MID meter is a certified kWh meter inside the charger. Its certification is what makes the reading count when a charging session has to be accounted for, for instance when you claim the electricity back from an employer or lease company. In the Netherlands it is also the requirement for the ERE scheme, worth up to 500 euro a year for private drivers, though that scheme applies in the Netherlands only. If you charge purely privately and claim nothing back, a charger without a MID meter will do.
