Abstract
Electric vehicle battery packs with external side enclosures for containing electrical connectors and other components therein. Each enclosure is sized to support various connectors or other components as desired, and may have a number of openings formed to provide interfaces for connecting various electric vehicle systems to the battery pack. The enclosures may be placed at various locations along one or more sides of the battery pack, and connectors may be routed over an upper surface of a battery pack frame or through a gap formed between the pack frame and cover. Enclosures may be made of any material, including plastic for lower weight applications and metal for improved electromagnetic interference shielding.
