A pair of end plates of a battery module are disposed respectively at end faces of a battery stack. Each of the end plates includes a first metal sheet, a second metal sheet, and a metal rod. The first metal sheet includes a plate part corresponding to a shape of each of the end faces of the battery stack, and a bent side piece provided at each of widthwise sides of the plate part. The second metal sheet includes a parallel plate part stacked on and fixed to the plate part of the first metal sheet, and a bending ridge that connects with each of sides of the parallel plate part and extends along widths of the end plates. A tubular reinforcement is defined on an inner side of the bending ridge. A metal rod is disposed in the tubular reinforcement and has ends connected to the bind bar.
