Abstract
This disclosure details electrified vehicles that are equipped with pass through assemblies for structurally reinforcing and sealing battery packs. An exemplary pass through assembly includes clean-side component and a dirty-side component. The clean-side component is positioned primarily inside the battery pack, and the dirty-side component engages the clean-side component and extends to a location outside of the battery pack for interfacing with a component of the vehicle underbody. A seal of the pass through assembly is positioned between the clean-side component and the dirty-side component and is configured to block the ingress of water, dirt, and other potential contaminants.
