XPeng P5 EV charger: which one fits best?

The XPeng P5 charges at home at up to 11 kW through a Type 2 connection. With a useable battery of 60 kWh, that 11 kW is exactly enough to fill the car overnight without planning anything. So a three-phase charger that delivers 11 kW is the right starting point. For a different model, browse all XPeng EV chargers.

For the P5 we recommend a charger from our 11 kW EV chargers.

A 22 kW charger will not speed this car up. The on-board charger caps at 11 kW, so anything above that stays unused.

Which EV charger fits the XPeng P5?

Three features are worth paying for on this car. A full charge takes around six hours, mostly overnight. Even then the car and the house share the same fuse box. That is the job of EV chargers with dynamic load balancing. The charger measures the current still free in your fuse box, then adjusts the charging power itself. A session that long also rewards timing. Look at EV chargers with an app and charge when electricity is cheapest.

The third is the MID meter, a certified kWh meter that records what you charge at home. Almost every charger we recommend has one built in. It first shows you what home charging really costs. From 2026, private drivers in the Netherlands can claim up to 500 euros a year through their energy supplier. That needs a certified meter, and the scheme applies from 2026 in the Netherlands only. Elsewhere the same reading lets you settle charging costs with an employer or lease company. Compare them in our EV chargers with a MID meter.

Most P5 drivers end up with one of our home EV chargers, a good shortlist to start from.

Charging specifications of the XPeng P5

How long does the XPeng P5 take to charge?

The sum is simple. A useable battery of 60 kWh divided by 11 kW comes to roughly 5.5 hours net. Add charging losses and you land between 5.5 and 6.5 hours from empty to full. Plug the P5 in around 23:00 and it is ready in the morning.

Only have a single-phase connection at home? Then the P5 charges at up to 3.7 kW and a full charge takes far longer. In that case a three-phase connection, arranged through your local network operator, is worth the trouble, because it unlocks the car's full 11 kW.

Having the charger installed

Wallbox Discounter arranges installation in the Netherlands, Flemish Belgium and Germany. In the Netherlands and Flemish Belgium you order it together with the charger. In Germany it runs through a free quote you request first. We ship worldwide, but we do not install outside those three countries. Our installation page shows what each option covers.

Rules differ per country. Have the connection made by a qualified electrician and check what applies where you live.

The XPeng P5 compared with the P7

The P5 is the compact, efficient sedan in the XPeng range. With a 60 kWh battery it fills up faster than the larger XPeng P7. The P7 carries a much bigger battery, so it offers more range but spends longer on the charger. Both models share the same home charging approach: 11 kW through Type 2. If you drive the bigger one, read the charging information for the XPeng P7 RWD Long Range.

Frequently asked questions about the XPeng P5 EV charger

Does the XPeng P5 need a three-phase connection?

Yes, if you want the full 11 kW at home. A three-phase connection draws current across three phases at once. On a single-phase connection the P5 charges at up to 3.7 kW, whatever the charger is rated for. A three-phase connection is arranged through your local electricity network operator; your installer can advise you.

Why does a MID meter matter for the XPeng P5?

A MID certified kWh meter records your home charging accurately. In the Netherlands that unlocks up to 500 euros a year from 2026 through your energy supplier. Anywhere else it gives you a figure you can settle with an employer or lease company. Without a certified meter you miss the Dutch scheme and cannot produce that reading, though the charger's app still shows what you use.
