Abstract

A cross member is disposed inside a battery case. The cross member extends in the vehicle width direction at a location that overlaps with rockers as seen in the vehicle width direction. The cross member is more resistant to deformation by a load toward the battery case than a cover portion of the battery case. Therefore, when a load toward the battery case is applied, a transmission path for the load from the rocker at one vehicle width direction side to the rocker at the other vehicle width direction side may be formed by the cross member.
