An exemplary battery pack housing includes a tray and a cover secured to the tray to provide an interior therebetween. A plurality of molded retention features secure the battery pack received in the interior.

Description

Background technique [0001] The present invention generally relates to a cover for a battery pack of an electric vehicle. [0002] In general, electric vehicles are distinguished from conventional motor vehicles in that electric vehicles are selectively propelled using one or more electric motors powered by batteries. In contrast, traditional motor vehicles rely entirely on the internal combustion engine to drive the vehicle. Electric vehicles may utilize an electric machine instead of, or in addition to, an internal combustion engine. [0003] Examples of electric vehicles include hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV), fuel cell vehicles, and battery electric vehicles (BEV). The powertrain of an electric vehicle is typically equipped with a battery that stores electrical energy used to drive the electric motor. Packaging battery packs in electric vehicles is difficult. Contents of the invention [0004] A battery pack housing according ...
