This is made possible by a water-cooling system that protects the motor, and particularly the power electronics, from overheating. The coolant is supplied by the regular engine cooling system, eliminating the need for a second, low-temperature cooling circuit. The collaboration with Audi was not just limited to the hardware.

Most EVs utilize a liquid coolant, such as a glycol-water mix (Tesla Model 3, Jaguar I-Pace, Audi E-Tron), or they are air-cooled (Nissan Leaf, VW e-Golf), or they use a refrigerant (Nissan Leaf, VW e-Golf) (BMW i3). Due to the fact, oil is lighter than glycol-water, contamination and corrosion concerns would be considerably minimised.
