Abstract
A vehicle body of an electric vehicle driven by a battery includes a floor structure partitioned into a plurality of frame members. The frame members serve as side frames, reinforcing frames and also as battery accommodating frames into which batteries are accommodated. Further, the problem of the generation of heat in the battery is overcome by the use of holes provided in the frame members to permit the passage of air or the use of a passage to permit the flow of a cooling fluid.
