External debris and ground strikes threaten the structural integrity of bottom-mounted energy storage. Preventing mechanical penetration or deformation ensures battery safety and prevents thermal runaway.

Mechanical failure and internal damage during impact events. Preventing catastrophic deformation ensures passenger safety and prevents thermal runaway.

Structural battery enclosures are vulnerable to ground strikes and debris impacts that cause internal cell deformation or thermal runaway without immediate external visibility. Identifying these hidden structural compromises prevents catastrophic battery failure and improves vehicle safety.
