Abstract
A device for reinforcing a side part of an electric vehicle body, in which load-supporting structures supporting a bottom part of a side sill inner reinforcement may be installed on a side sill inner panel to ensure that the side sill inner reinforcement remains secured in place. As a result of the configuration, weight reduction compared to conventional technology is realized and a collision energy absorption performance following a small overlap collision and a side collision is improved.
