A vehicle structure has an energy store receiving space in which an electrochemical energy store is received and is delimited at below by a lower cross member and above by an upper cross member, a longitudinal profile, and a deformation space arranged geometrically between the longitudinal profile and the electrochemical energy store. The electrochemical energy store has an energy store pressure plate on its side facing the longitudinal profile. An extended pressure plate is arranged in the deformation space having a longitudinal profile contact region for contacting the longitudinal profile, an upper pressure plate cross member extending in the direction of the upper cross member, and a lower pressure plate cross member extending in the direction of the lower cross member.

Vehicle structure comprising an energy store

A battery housing for a high-voltage battery of a motor vehicle has a housing interior for receiving a multiplicity of battery modules. The housing interior is formed by a housing upper part and a housing lower part covering the housing upper part. The housing lower part is formed as a segmented housing base with at least two separate housing base segments, of which at least one housing base segment is designed to be removable for opening the battery housing and for allowing access to a part region of the housing interior covered by this housing base segment, and to that end is secured to the housing upper part in a non-destructively removable manner.
