Abstract
An electric vehicle includes a pair of opposed brackets, an attachment structure, a plate, and bushings. The pair of opposed brackets are configured to be secured to a motor of the electric vehicle. The attachment structure includes a cross bar and a pair of lower legs. The cross bar extends in a transverse direction of the electric vehicle. The pair of lower legs extend in a longitudinal direction from the cross bar and are secured to the pair of opposed brackets. The plate is secured to the cross bar and the pair of lower legs. The bushings are secured to the pair of opposed brackets and are configured to be mounted to a frame of the electric vehicle. The bushings allow the motor, the pair of opposed brackets, and the attachment structure to move upward in response to a certain applied load exceeding a predetermined threshold to the plate.
