Mercedes-Benz claims it was the world’s first crash test involving two pure EVs. The automaker wanted to go “above and beyond” the legal requirements to discover what happens when two EVs collide head-on, which is why it crash-tested an EQS 450 SUV and an EQA 300 head-on at the Group Technology Centre for Vehicle Safety in Sindelfingen, Germany. The electric SUV, weighing 3.0 tonnes, and its smaller sibling, weighing 2.2 tonnes, hurled towards each other…
