Abstract
A vehicle includes a floor and an aluminum battery enclosure. The enclosure has L-shaped formed side walls each at least partially defining a traction battery cavity and including a foot attached to the floor. Each of the feet extends an entire length of the corresponding side wall to distribute impact energy along the entire length to maintain a relative position between the floor and enclosure.
