In addition, in the present embodiment, since the guide portion 80 is provided, when the battery protection cover 51 moves rearward (B side) of the vehicle body with respect to the lower frame 50, the abutting portion 83 abuts against the inclined portion 81 to move the battery protection cover 51 downward (U side) of the vehicle body with respect to the lower frame 50, and the fastening member 71 can easily come out of the detachment hole 75 to detach the rear end portion of the battery protection cover 51 from the lower frame 50.
Fig. 4 is a sectional view showing a state in which the battery protection cover 51 receives a load from the front (F side) of the vehicle body at the time of a frontal collision of the electric vehicle 200. As shown in fig. 4, when the electric vehicle 200 undergoes a frontal collision, the transaxle and the suspension member 40 move rearward of the vehicle body. As the suspension member 40 moves rearward of the vehicle body, the battery protection cover 51 also moves rearward of the vehicle body, and the release hole 75 formed in the battery protection cover 51 moves to the position of the fastening member 71 attached to the lower frame 50 (see fig. 3B), so that the fastening member 71 is released from the release hole 75, and the connection between the battery protection cover 51 and the lower frame 50 is released. Therefore, when the electric vehicle 200 undergoes a frontal collision, since the battery protection cover 51 is detached from the lower frame 50, it is possible to avoid a collision load being applied to the lower frame 50 to deform it. As a result, it is possible to prevent the battery 150 and the wire harness 151 from moving downward (U side) of the vehicle body and the wire harness 150 from colliding with the suspension member 40.
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be modified as appropriate. For example, fig. 5A and 5B show different modifications of the fastening hole, respectively.
In the above embodiment, the release hole 75 of the fastening hole 73 is circular, and the release hole 175 of the fastening hole 173 shown in fig. 5A is formed in a square shape. Since the opening area of the release hole 175 is larger than that of the circular shape, the fastening member 71 is more easily released from the release hole 175, and the connection between the battery protection cover 51 and the lower frame 50 is more easily released.
The fastening hole 273 shown in fig. 5B has a communication portion 276. The communicating portion 276 is formed between the fixing hole 274 and the release hole 275, and communicates the fixing hole 274 and the release hole 275. The width of the communication portion 276 in the vehicle width direction is set to be wider toward the front (F side) of the vehicle body. Therefore, even when the battery protection cover 51 moves diagonally rearward in the event of a frontal collision of the electric vehicle 200, the release hole 275 moves to the position of the fastening member 71, and the fastening member 71 is released from the release hole 275, so that the connection between the battery protection cover 51 and the lower frame 50 can be easily released.
