Volkswagen Group Premium Platform Electric
Premium Platform Electric (PPE) is a modular car platform for electric cars being developed by Volkswagen Group brands Audi and Porsche.[1][2][3] The platform will be for larger electric vehicles which are not suitable for the Volkswagen Group MEB platform, although Audi will also build cars with the smaller platform.[3] Details of the platform were first revealed in 2019, with Audi noting that it would have 2/3 assembling commonality with the MLB Evo platform.[3] The first car officially announced for PPE was the Audi A6 e-tron.[4]
Details[edit]
The car reportedly has a 435 miles (700 km) WLTP range, with an 800V electrical architecture that allows DC fast charging at up to 270kW.[4] In November 2022, it was revealed that the architecture allowed rear or four-wheel drive, with power up to 450kW.[5] The batteries run at 800V, but can split into 2 400V packs for faster charging.[5]
