In-chassis battery for electrically driven vehicle

Abstract

Embodiments are described providing efficient ways for housing batteries in electrically driven vehicles. In particular, a vehicle chassis is described comprising an internal cavity for holding one or more batteries. The batteries can be mounted within the chassis cavity and held on rails, allowing the batteries to extend out of the chassis cavity on the rails for servicing and removal/replacement. In various embodiments, the chassis cavity can be separated into sub-compartments by one or more partition walls running lengthwise along the chassis inside the cavity. Each sub-compartment can hold a separate battery similarly mounted on rails, allowing each battery to extend out of the chassis cavity individually.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
