Abstract
Aspects of the subject disclosure relate to a battery-to-subframe attachment for a vehicle. The battery-to-subframe attachment may form a load path from a front subframe of a vehicle to one or more longitudinal members of a battery pack for the vehicle. This attachment may help to utilize the mass and strength of a battery pack as an integral part of the structure of the vehicle, and may also improve torsional and bending stiffness of the vehicle via attachment between the subframe and the battery pack.
