According to the new report, the first version was coming at about 3,000 euros too expensive, which Porsche is said to be able to absorb but Audi wasn’t on board. They believe that they need to lower the cost in order to be competitive with other upcoming EVs.
The battery cell cost is apparently the biggest factor that pushes the cost of the platform higher and Tesla claims to be leading the industry on that front.
According to the report, Audi and Porsche could delay the PPE in order to improve the cost and be competitive with Tesla.
The PPE is becoming increasingly important for Audi according to Manager-Magazin’s report, which describes a failing e-tron program:
The e-tron as the first electric Audi is not only late. It does not reach some target values and has become far too expensive with more than two billion euros in development costs. The approximately 600,000 cars sold for the break-even are now regarded as an illusion.
The e-tron electric SUV was supposed to be delivered to customers last year, but Audi says that software issues have resulted in delays.
The German automaker is still planning several other vehicles based on the same platform before the PPE becomes available.
