Importance of choosing the right charger for your XPeng

Understanding and picking the right charger is important as it incorporates your daily driving, optimizing charging time allowing you to get on the road much faster.

Proper EV Chargers will come with safety features that help protect you from electrical faults during the charging of your XPeng.

A reputable brand that builds itself upon trust of many customer’s is also another way you can decide on an EV Charger. No name brands will usually cut corners to profit from it, leaving you and your EV vulnerable.

The different types of chargers for your home

Level 2 Chargers are split into three prevalent categories that are defined by their speed. The chargers are rated in kilowatts (kW), whereas higher values in (kW) denote faster chargers. All of the chargers for Level 2 charging are AC type

7kW - The slowest of the bunch which averages charging speeds of 8-12 hours, charging hours usually is done overnight

11kW - Charging can be done in 5-6 hours. Considered the most supported max-rated charging speeds on average for the EVs available in Malaysia.

22kW - The fastest charging speed for a home wall box that can fully charge an EV in around 2.5-3 hours. Not many EVs in Malaysia can take advantage of this charging speed. This is however good for future-proofing and split charging through load share for 2 EVs rated for 11kW each.

Picking the best EV Charger for your XPeng

What are some aspects to consider when picking out an EV Charger for your XPeng? We will show some of the things to take account for following :

Ø Compatibility Consideration

Ø Charging speed and efficiency

Ø Smart Features and connectivity

Which EV Charger For My Car

The connector type for Xpeng’s charging standard utilizes Type 2 for its AC charging. The on-board charger of a vehicle is important to know before purchasing as it will limit the charging speeds despite having a faster EV Charger. In this case, the XPeng G6 in Malaysia support AC Charging of up to 11 kW.

Charging Speed and efficiency

Making sure that the charger is compatible is one thing but maxing out the efficiency is another, the XPeng G6 take charge of up to 11 kW max , hence charging with a lower power output charger will take away its potential efficiency.

Smart connectivity features for EV Charging

Smart charging is an umbrella term that refers to multiple intelligent functionalities that helps enhance your EV charging experience, the following are some of the features that you should consider to make your EV Charging worthwhile:

Adjustable settings to maximize efficiency of charging.

Scheduling through the app or having your EV charge according to the set current permissible by the OBC allows for better efficiency whilst charging.

Seamless integration between other electrical components

Higher sustainability in terms of usage. Compatibility with solar energy panels in your home is an added plus as it allows for you to make use of the energy collected instead of electricity from the grid.

Ability for an EV Charger to become smarter over time.

EV chargers should be able to evolve accordingly to elevate your charging experience. Thankfully with advanced connectivity comes the ability for EV Chargers to receive over-the-air (OTA) updates

Why Choose EV Sifu for your EV Charger Installation.

We have hands-on experience with all charger brands which means we know our way around for the different types of configurations required by the charger itself

Premium Installation process. We weed out any problems that may impede your charging post installation as well as practice high workmanship etiquette during installation to ensure that you get the best from your EV charger.

The following are among the common practice within our installation services:

High quality 6mm copper wiring that is encased with PVC/Metal trunking for mechanical protection. The 6mm is sufficient for all ranges of power output from the EV Charger.

Safety precautions with installation of Type A 30mA RCCB that is able to respond to DC/AC leakage by quick disconnection and able to resume usage provided that the fault doesn’t exceed 30mA

10kA C-Curve MCB. The breaking capacity of 10kA is the maximum current which would allow for the component to resume its task after taking the brunt of the fault. The C-Curve is more tolerant to high-current surges and is designed to trip between 5-10 times its rated current, evidently perfect for EV Charger installations and highest rated in Malaysia.

No Excessive Wire bending to Ensure Longevity. An often overlooked process in which we pride ourselves in doing as excessive bending leads to damage towards the cable’s sheathing and wiring itself.

Commitment to safety and quality standards. Before we proceed with the installation of the EV Charger, our team does a site-assessment in which helps tally any discrepancies that could prevent or cause disruption in terms of safety whilst using the EV Charger. We also do post-installation tests to ensure that nothing is out of the norm.
