The rear bottom guard plate covers the rear bottom of the vehicle chassis. The front and rear spans of the covering area are from the lower protective plate bracket at the rear of the vehicle chassis to the rear bumper. The front and rear spans of the covering are relatively large, achieving an aesthetic effect; however, in order to improve the passability of the vehicle, the departure angle is designed to be relatively large. Due to the attachment effect of airflow, when the vehicle is driving at high speed, the high-speed airflow flowing through the bottom of the vehicle passes through the front bottom guard plate, the lower surface of the battery pack, and the rear bottom guard plate, and is drawn into the rear of the vehicle, forming a vortex, thereby increasing the wind resistance of the vehicle and also increasing pollution at the rear of the vehicle body.

Through the structure of the guide groove 3, the drag coefficient of the entire vehicle can be reduced by 6 counts (the usage in wind resistance is a non-standard measurement method used to quantify the degree of improvement of the drag coefficient due to design optimization, which refers to how many tiny units or percentages the drag coefficient (Cd) value is reduced compared to the original design or industry standard), which is equivalent to a weight reduction of 30 kg and an increase of 3.6 kilometers in pure electric range according to CLTC working conditions.

[0029] See Figure 3 Furthermore, the protective member 2 is arranged at an angle, the protective member 2 is arranged gradually close to the vehicle body along the first direction, and the inclination angle of the protective member 2 is 20°.
