Abstract

A battery case structure for an electric vehicle, includes a side member in which a flange of the side member laterally provided in a battery case is deformed or broken from a partition to absorb an impact when a side collision occurs, minimizing the impact which is caused by the collision and is provided to penetrate into a battery. Furthermore, the partition of the side member is designed based on topology optimization to secure rigidity, protecting the battery against the impact.
