Volkswagen has presented a new generation of electric drive for the entire ID. family. Increased power and efficiency will increase both the acceleration and range of vehicles. This powertrain has an output of 210 kW (286 PS) and a maximum torque of about 550 Nm – depending on the gear ratio. So high torque of the new APP550 electric drive is possible thanks to an enhanced stator with a higher effective number of windings and a larger wire cross-section. The rotor is equipped with a more powerful permanent magnet. Volkswagen is planning to deliver the first vehicles with the new drive from the end of the year.
