Abstract
A battery unit comprises plural battery modules and a battery case storing the plural battery modules, and is arranged over a range from a first storage area located below a front seat to second and third storage areas located in back of the front seat. The number of front-side fastening portions of the battery modules corresponding to the first storage area is set to be smaller than the number of rear-side fastening portions of the battery modules corresponding to the first storage area. The fastening portion is arranged on an inward side, in a vehicle width direction, of the fastening portion provided at an outward side in the vehicle width direction.
Claims8
A battery unit mounting structure of an electric vehicle, comprising:
- a floor panel;
- a pair of right-and-left floor frames provided below the floor panel, each of which forms a closed-cross section extending longitudinally cooperatively with the floor panel;
- and
- a battery unit supporting plural battery modules and mounted at the pair of floor frames,
- wherein said battery unit comprises the battery modules and a battery case storing the plural battery modules and attached to said pair of floor frames, and
- mounting rigidity of part of said plural battery modules mounted at said battery case is set to be lower than that of other part of the plural battery modules mounted at the battery case so as to lower a peak of vibration amplitude which is defined as a vibration width, in a vertical direction, of an end portion, in a vehicle width direction, of the plural battery modules in a case where said floor panel vibrates at a frequency of 20-50 Hz and said plural battery modules roll around an axial line which extends in a vehicle longitudinal direction, passing a central point, in the vehicle width direction, of the plural battery modules.
