The reinforcing member 500 includes a first reinforcing section 510 disposed at the first connecting section 410 and a second reinforcing section 520 disposed at the second connecting section 420. In this way, the structural strength of the first connecting section 410 is enhanced by the first reinforcing section 510, so that the strength of the connection between the connecting member 401 and the frame 100 is higher, so that the first connecting section 410 is not easy to deform, so that the connecting member 401 is not easy to break, and thus the vehicle has higher safety performance. In addition, the second reinforcing section 520 is used to enhance the structural strength of the second connecting section 420, so that the strength of the connection between the connecting member 401 and the battery pack 200 is higher, so that the second connecting section 420 is not easy to deform, and the connecting member 401 is not easy to break, so that the vehicle has higher safety performance. Furthermore, since the reinforcing member 500 includes the first reinforcing section 510 and the second reinforcing section 520, that is, the structural strength of the first connecting section 410 and the second connecting section 420 of the connecting member 401 can be improved by a reinforcing member 500, it is beneficial to reduce the number of parts used in the vehicle and to simplify the structure of the vehicle.

On the other hand, it is helpful to save the bracket under the battery pack 200 for supporting the battery pack 200, so as to reduce the cost of the vehicle. However, the present design is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the mounting bracket 300 is connected to the bottom of the battery pack 200 to support the battery pack 200, so that the battery pack 200 is connected to the vehicle frame 100 more stably.
