Abstract
A battery unit mounting apparatus for an electric vehicle includes four or more fixing portions configured to be provided at the bottom of an electric vehicle and four or more corresponding portions-to-be-fixed on a battery unit. When the battery unit is raised toward the vehicle, the battery unit mounting apparatus causes each fixing portion to be engaged with the corresponding one of the portions-to-be-fixed. There is a first group, formed by three of the fixing portions and corresponding three of the portions-to-be-fixed, and a second group, formed by the remaining one or more of the fixing portions and the remaining one or more of the portions-to-be-fixed. The fixing portion and the portion-to-be-fixed in the second group are configured to be engaged with each other after the fixing portions and the portions-to-be-fixed in the first group are engaged.
