Mercedes plans to overhaul its lineup in the coming years, kicking off with an "Entry Luxury" class to replace today's compact models. There will be fewer models in this segment as the German premium brand has already announced it'll go down from seven to four cars. One of the surviving models will be the CLA, seen here in the first-ever electric guise in northern Europe during a bad day at work.
The man with the camera claims the smallish EV was heading back to Mercedes' test center in northern Europe but it didn't make it there without some assistance. About six miles (10 kilometers) before arriving at its destination, the prototype was seen crawling to make the most out of the precious juice it still had in the battery. That didn't work as it ultimately came to a halt due to a completely depleted battery pack.
