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]

It has been suggested that cars built on this platform will include upcoming EV versions of the Porsche Macan and the Audi Q5 e-tron, both expected to be released in 2022.[4]

The first car officially announced for PPE was the Audi A6 e-tron.[5] 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.[5]
