Audi has lowered the weight of the high-voltage (HV) battery while simultaneously increasing its energy density. Despite the higher energy content, the weight of the HV battery has been reduced by nine kilograms to a total of 625 kilograms. The HV battery boasts a gross storage capacity of 105 kWh (net: 97 kWh). Among other measures, optimizing the two-layer cooling plate results in a twelve percent increase in capacity for the 33 cell modules, each holding twelve pouch cells with a flexible outer skin. Audi has also modified the cooling system of the cells themselves.

This technical animation shows the drive system in the Audi Q6 e-tron and explains the new predictive thermal management system, which regulates the cooling or heating circuit as required for optimum battery performance.

The Audi Q8 55 TFSI e quattro and the Q8 60 TFSI e quattro are the plug-in hybrid versions (PHEV) in the model range. A compact electric motor supports the 3.0 TFSI engine. The new liquid-cooled lithium battery in the rear can now store a 22 kWh net (25.9 kWh gross) of energy.

The Audi Q6 e-tron embodies typical Audi SUV styling with a further refined e-tron design language. The new design philosophy in the interior and pioneering technologies debuting in the new model, begin the next chapter in electric mobility for the Four Rings and make Vorsprung durch Technik a tangible experience every day.
