An electric vehicle (EV) battery unit and installation method is provided herein. The EV battery unit includes a modular housing with a central section with batteries positioned therein and a first lateral section with a battery cooler that is designed to reduce a temperature of the batteries and an inverter that is positioned therein and electrically coupled to the batteries. The modular housing further includes a first frame attachment interface profiled to attach to a first longitudinal frame rail in an EV and a second frame attachment interface profiled to attach to a second longitudinal frame rail in the EV, where the batteries are positioned laterally between the first and second frame attachment interfaces.

Electric vehicle battery unit and battery unit installation method

Methods and systems are provided for an electric vehicle powertrain. The vehicle system includes an electric distribution assembly with a junction box that is electrically coupled to a traction motor-generator and is designed to electrically coupled to, via separate circuits, a traction battery assembly and a hydrogen fuel cell assembly that is positioned behind a vehicle cab. In the system, the traction battery assembly is positioned vertically below the hydrogen fuel cell assembly.
