A vehicle high-voltage system equipment unit includes a high-voltage system equipment, and a cooling fan for taking in air from a passenger compartment. The high-voltage system equipment is cooled with air taken in from the passenger compartment, the cooling fan is provided on an upstream side of the high-voltage system equipment, and an air discharge portion is provided on a downstream side of the high-voltage system equipment, a branch portion for dividing a flow of air used to cool the high-voltage system equipment is provided in the air discharge portion, an air flow regulating portion is provided on an upstream side of the branch portion, and the air flow regulating portion is formed integrally with the high-voltage system equipment.

A vehicle floor structure is provided including: a vehicle interior opening formation section provided inside a vehicle cabin, and demarcating a vehicle interior opening that opens into the vehicle cabin; a vehicle exterior opening formation section provided further toward a vehicle lower side than a floor inside the vehicle cabin, and demarcating a vehicle exterior opening that opens toward a vehicle exterior; a storage section provided at the vehicle lower side of the floor, and demarcating a storage space that connects the vehicle interior opening and the vehicle exterior opening together; and a pull-out receptacle disposed inside the storage section at a position corresponding to the vehicle interior opening, and capable of moving from inside the storage section to the vehicle exterior through the vehicle exterior opening.

A battery pack for an electric vehicle is disclosed. The battery pack includes an upper tray, a first busbar attached to the upper tray, a lower tray, and a second busbar attached to the lower tray. The battery pack also includes a plurality of battery cells arranged in the upper and lower trays, and an armor layer connected with the lower tray.

In an embodiment, a clamping bar holder component configured to be secured to an endplate of a battery module includes a plurality of clamping bar holders configured to hold a respective plurality of clamping bars and to facilitate transitions of each of the plurality of clamping bars between a parked state and an unparked state. In the parked state, each clamping bar is secured by a respective clamping bar holder inside of a respective clearance threshold so as to permit the battery module to be inserted into a battery module compartment and/or to be removed from the battery module compartment. In the unparked state, each clamping bar extends out of the clamping bar holder past the clearance threshold so as to block removal of the battery module from the battery module compartment.

In an embodiment a vehicle body includes a floor member, a support member coupled to an upper surface of the floor member and a frame member coupled to an upper end of the support member to define a space between the floor member and the frame member, wherein the space is configured to house an item, and wherein the frame member extends along a side perimeter of the item to surround a lateral side of the item.

A battery unit for a vehicle is provided. The battery unit includes a lower case having two battery compartments arranged in a direction toward opposite sides of the vehicle, respectively, and a connecting portion bent to be convex upwardly between the two battery compartments. A reinforcing structure is disposed on the connecting portion. Two battery modules are installed in the two battery compartments, respectively and a power wire is electrically connected to at least one of the two battery modules and extends from one of the two battery compartments to the other one of the two battery compartments through the connecting portion.

An electric passenger transport vehicle includes: a car body including a floor; a first seat located at a distance above the floor; a second seat located at a distance behind the first seat; and batteries aligned between the first seat and the floor in a vehicle-width direction, all the batteries at least partially overlapping one another when viewed from a side along the vehicle-width direction.

A vehicle includes: a power reception unit that receives electric power contactlessly from a power transmission unit externally provided; and an electronic device. The power reception unit includes a coil formed to surround a winding axis. Assuming that a region extending in a direction in which the winding axis extends from the coil when viewing the coil from above the vehicle is an adjacent region, the electronic device is away from the adjacent region.

An electric three wheeled vehicle includes a vehicle chassis supporting a vehicle operator seat or saddle. The vehicle chassis defines a storage region beneath the vehicle operator seat or saddle. One or more energy storage devices for powering one or more electric motors of the vehicle are located within the storage region and are supported by the chassis. The storage region and/or the energy storage device(s) each form an elongate three-dimensional volume having a long axis that is parallel to a longitudinal axis of the vehicle.

An electric vehicle includes a chassis frame, a battery pack, and a brace. The battery pack includes a support structure vertically spaced at least in-part from the chassis frame. The first brace extends between, and is engaged to, the chassis frame and the support structure.
