Would having an electric motor have an impact on crash test results compared to the same car with an internal combustion engine?
For example a Volkswagen Golf can be have an internal combustion engine or an electric motor. Would the car behave differently if it would be in the exact same crash test scenario?
I tried researching this but could only find crash tests of electric vehicles which are not available as internal combustion engine and the other way around.
In: Physics
Electric cars have more available space under the hood. That’s one factor. Not sure if it’s a pro or con tho.
I guess the free space means there’s more room for a crumple zone to absorb shock of a front end crash to that would be a pro for electric.
