What happens when two EVs collide head-on? Mercedes-Benz might have the answer after it crash-tested the EQS SUV and EQA in Germany.
Two 49-kilogram female dummies, around 1.5-meters tall, wearing red t-shirts and white shoes escaped relatively unscathed after the electric vehicles they were driving collided head-on. Mercedes-Benz claims it was the world’s first crash test involving two pure EVs.
Vehicle crumple zones up front are designed to absorb impact energy, which is why they appear destroyed upon collision. When the majority of the kinetic energy gets dissipated within the crumple zones, the risk of energy bleeding into the passenger compartment is reduced. This of course would vary upon the nature and the circumstances of a crash.
