A vehicle body structure includes: a battery case that is disposed below a floor panel of a vehicle body and houses a battery; and a case-mounting frame that connects the battery case to a side sill provided on a side of the battery case in a vehicle width direction to support the battery case. The case-mounting frame includes a lower frame that straddles between the side sill and the battery case, and an upper frame that rises from the lower frame, supports the battery case, and is disposed side by side with the battery case in the vehicle width direction. The lower frame includes a fragile portion that is provided at a position located below the upper frame and is more fragile than another position other than the first position.

A vehicle-mounted battery pack includes a battery tray including a floor part, a right frame, and a left frame. The battery tray includes a battery disposition region, a right impact-absorbing region, and a left impact-absorbing region. A battery module is placed in a battery disposition region. The left and right impact-absorbing regions are provided on outer sides of the battery disposition region in the vehicle width direction. The right frame and the left frame are formed to be thinner than the right and left impact-absorbing regions. Further, an easily deformable portion is formed at a lower portion of the right and left impact-absorbing regions.
