A body for an electrically operable motor vehicle, includes a vehicle floor, which has a floor element arranged above an energy storage device and, in the region of the end of the floor element, at least one fastening point of the body for a support element is provided. In the event of an accident-induced load introduction of a corresponding force in the region of the fastening point, in order to prevent accompanying damage to the energy storage device, the floor element has a deformation region that can be intentionally deformed away from the energy storage device when the accident-induced force is introduced at the fastening point of the body for the support element.

Body for an electrically operable motor vehicle

The invention relates to a component assembly for a crash zone (C) of a motor vehicle, comprising a retaining device () having at least one retaining element (), by means of which at least one component () is retained. In order to both arrange the at least one component () to most advantageously utilise the available installation space and to guarantee an arrangement of said component () that is secure against damage, said component is retained by means of of the retaining element () in the region of the crash zone (C) of the motor vehicle in a fixed position, wherein the retaining element () has at least one flexible region () with which the component () can be shifted out of the fixed position into an avoidance position in the event of an accident-related application of force.
