What is this invention?

Vehicle body on which a high voltage battery is mounted

Hyundai is introducing a new vehicle body design that will help to increase the power and range of electrical vehicles. The new body design, called the High Voltage Battery Mounting Vehicle Body (HBMBV), allows for a high voltage battery to be mounted securely on the floor of the vehicle. This provides more stability and better performance when using an electric car.The HBMBV was developed in response to customer demand for increased power and range from their electric cars. Traditional battery mounting methods can be unstable, making it difficult to achieve consistent levels of power and range from an EV. By installing a high voltage battery inside a stable mount like the HBMBV, drivers can enjoy reliable performance while driving in all conditions.The HBMBV also creates space inside the car for other electronics such as sensors or antennae needed by EVs.

The vehicle body includes a battery stable floor and side sills that extend in the forward and backward directions. The coupling members are combined with front side members, rear portions of the coupling members are combined with side sills, respectively. Each coupling member connects between the respective front side member and the respective side sill in an extension line. A cross member is also included across the vehicle body floor and couples the coupling members together.

What are some key features of the invention?

• Vehicle body

• High voltage battery

• Vehicle body floor

• Coupling members

• Front portion of coupling member

• Rear portion of coupling member

• Side sill

What are some similar inventions on the market?

There are a few similar products on the market that may be of interest to consumers. One example is the Traction Tester, which is used to diagnose and test electric car traction. Another product is the EVSE Charger, which can provide power for an electric car when it's not being driven by a human.

How could this be used?

This body style for a car would allow for a high voltage battery to be mounted securely and stably. The coupling members between the front and side parts of the vehicle ensure that vibrations from the engine or other driving forces are not transferred into the battery compartment, which could potentially damage it. Additionally, by having the cross member running across both floors of the car, any impact on one side will transfer directly to the other side- keeping everything in balance.

What are some things to look out for with this?

There are a few possible risks when using this type of technology. One risk is that if the vehicle crashes, there is a potential for the battery to become detached from the coupling members and cause a dangerous situation. Additionally, if water enters the system through any openings in the floor or side sill, it could potentially damage or destroy the equipment.

What are the overall impressions of this invention?

The product is easy to use and has a variety of features that make it useful for consumers.

Final comment expressed in a poem (written by an A.I.)

A vehicle body with a high voltage battery is mounted,
The vehicle body includes a stable floor on which the battery is placed,
And side sills that extend in forward and backward directions.
There are coupling members that connect between the front side members and the side sills,
And a cross member extends across the floor connecting all the coupling members together.
