Volkswagen Group Premium Platform Electric Explained

Premium Platform Electric (PPE) is a modular car platform for electric cars being developed by Volkswagen Group brands Audi and Porsche. 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. 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. The first car officially announced for PPE was the Audi A6 e-tron.

Details

The car reportedly has a 435miles WLTP range, with an 800V electrical architecture that allows DC fast charging at up to 270kW. In November 2022, it was revealed that the architecture allowed rear or four-wheel drive, with power up to 450kW. The batteries run at 800V, but can split into 2 parallel 400V packs for faster charging.
