Abstract

There is provided a battery support structure for a vehicle. The battery support structure for a vehicle includes: a battery pack formed by housing a secondary battery in a case and disposed in a lower part of a vehicle body; and a deformable bracket that supports one end portion of the battery pack in a vehicle width direction. The deformable bracket deforms in response to an input from one end of the battery pack in the vehicle width direction so as to cause the other end of the battery pack to move in an input direction and descend relative to the vehicle body.
