Abstract

The disclosure above teaches a race car that utilizes electrical power for the drive train. The car uses two distinct power packs, or batteries. Power from each battery is transferred to one of the rear wheels, thereby creating a twin drive system. The race car further includes at least two receptacles that receive a battery or battery pack, preferably from above, thereby enabling vertical drop-in installation of the batteries. The battery receptacles include mechanisms to protect the interior (and therefore the driver) of the vehicle. The protective mechanisms of the battery receptacles further serve to isolate the batteries from the interior of the race car so that if the integrity of the battery casing is compromised, corrosive materials from the batteries are inhibited from coming into contact with other components of the car and/or the driver of the car.
