Abstract
An electrified vehicle includes a chassis, an energy storage system supported by or coupled to the chassis and including a battery arranged within a battery housing. The battery housing is coupled to the chassis by a first removable coupling coupled between the battery housing and the chassis, and a second removable coupling coupled between the battery housing and the chassis. The first removable coupling includes a first pin that is selectively removable to decouple the battery housing from the chassis. The second removable coupling includes a second pin that is selectively removable to decouple the battery housing from the chassis.
Claims19
An electrified vehicle comprising:
- a chassis;
- and
- an energy storage system supported by or coupled to the chassis, wherein the energy storage system is supported on top of the chassis, the energy storage system including a battery arranged within a battery housing, wherein the battery housing is coupled to the chassis by:
- a first removable coupling coupled between the battery housing and the chassis, wherein the first removable coupling includes a first pin that is selectively removable to decouple the battery housing from the chassis;
- and
- a second removable coupling coupled between the battery housing and the chassis, wherein the second removable coupling includes a second pin that is selectively removable to decouple the battery housing from the chassis.

An electrified vehicle comprising:
- a chassis including a first frame rail and a second frame rail;
- and
- an energy storage system supported by or coupled to the chassis, the energy storage system including a battery arranged within a battery housing, wherein the battery housing is coupled to the chassis by:
- a first removable coupling coupled between the battery housing and the first frame rail, wherein the first removable coupling includes a first pin that is coupled to a first electric actuator, the first electric actuator being configured to actuate and selectively remove the first pin to decouple the battery housing from the first frame rail;
- and
- a second removable coupling coupled between the battery housing and the second frame rail, wherein the second removable coupling includes a second pin that is coupled to a second electric actuator, the second electric actuator being configured to actuate and selectively remove the second pin to decouple the battery housing from the second frame rail.

An electrified vehicle comprising:
- a chassis including a first frame rail and a second frame rail;
- and
- an energy storage system supported by or coupled to the chassis, the energy storage system including a battery arranged within a battery housing, wherein the battery housing is coupled to the chassis by:
- a first removable coupling coupled between the battery housing and the first frame rail, wherein the first removable coupling includes a first pin that is coupled to a first electric actuator, the first electric actuator being configured to actuate and selectively remove the first pin to decouple the battery housing from the first frame rail;
- and
- a second removable coupling coupled between the battery housing and the second frame rail, wherein the second removable coupling includes a second pin that is configured to decouple the battery housing from the second frame rail in response to (a) an actuation force provided by an electric actuator or (b) a predetermined force that breaks the second pin.
