Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An electric vehicle structure may include a floor panel; a center tunnel disposed at a center of the floor panel in a vehicle width direction, extending along a vehicle front-rear direction, and projecting upward from the floor panel; a dash panel disposed at front ends of the floor panel and the center tunnel; and a front reinforcement attached to an inner surface of a peripheral wall of the center tunnel and extending rearward from the dash panel through the center tunnel.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . An electric vehicle structure, comprising: a floor panel; a center tunnel disposed at a center of the floor panel in a vehicle width direction, extending along a vehicle front-rear direction, and projecting upward from the floor panel; a dash panel disposed at front ends of the floor panel and the center tunnel; and a front reinforcement attached to an inner surface of a peripheral wall of the center tunnel and extending rearward from the dash panel through the center tunnel. 2 . The electric vehicle structure as in claim 1 , further comprising: a pair of rockers, the rockers respectively disposed on both ends of the floor panel in the vehicle width direction; and a crossmember extending from one of the rockers to another of the rockers on the floor panel and the center tunnel, wherein the front reinforcement extends up to the crossmember. 3 . The electric vehicle structure as in claim 1 , further comprising: a rear reinforcement connected from above to a rear end of the front reinforcement via the floor panel, wherein the rear reinforcement extends rearward on an extension line of the front reinforcement from the rear end of the front reinforcement member up to a rear end of the floor panel. 4 . The electric vehicle structure as in claim 1 , wherein the front reinforcement comprises a projection that projects toward inside of the center tunnel such that a clearance is provided between the inner surface of the center tunnel and the front reinforcement, and the projection is located at at least a part of the front reinforcement along the vehicle front-rear direction. 5 . The electric vehicle structure as in claim 4 , wherein the front reinforcement comprises a bend at the projection, and the bend extends along the vehicle front-rear direction.
