Integrated battery cell modules with plug-in battery cells for electric vehicles

An electric vehicle, comprising:

• a battery cell module of a battery pack to power an electric vehicle, the battery cell module comprising:
• a plurality of battery cells, each battery cell of the plurality of battery cells comprising:
• a housing having a first end and a second end, the housing defining an inner region,
• an electrode structure disposed in the inner region defined by the housing, the electrode structure comprising a cathode tab that extends from the first end of the housing, and an anode tab that extends from the first end of the housing,
• a lid coupled with the first end of the housing, the lid including a cathode tab opening and an anode tab opening, the cathode tab extending through the cathode tab opening and the anode tab extending through the anode tab opening;
• a base, different from the plurality of battery cells, the base including a first surface and a plurality of cathode sockets and a plurality of anode sockets that extend into the base at the first surface, the plurality of cathode sockets receiving respective cathode tabs of the plurality of battery cells and the plurality of anode sockets receiving respective anode tabs of the plurality of battery cells;
• and
• the base including a cathode bus bar and an anode bus bar, the cathode bus bar electrically coupled with a cathode socket metal layer of at least two cathode sockets of the plurality of cathode sockets, and the anode bus bar electrically coupled with an anode socket metal layer of at least two anode sockets of the plurality of anode sockets.
