Abstract: The battery structure for an electric vehicle includes battery arrays. A first battery array includes first walls that are secured to each other to form a first unitized structure that is configured to house a first cell stack. One first wall of the first walls includes a first vertical portion, a first upper portion, and a first lower portion. A second battery array includes second walls that are secured to each other to form a second unitized structure that is configured to house a second cell stack. One second wall of the second walls includes a second vertical portion and a second upper portion. The second vertical portion is spaced apart from the first vertical portion. The second upper portion extends toward the first vertical portion from an upper end of the second vertical portion and is secured to the first upper portion of the first battery array.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a stake support bracket coupled to walls of a cargo bed of a vehicle such as a pick-up-bed truck for providing support to a stake of a standard size or a non-standard size. The stake support bracket includes a first panel, a second panel transverse to the first panel, and a third panel transverse to the second panel. The third panel includes a stake support opening. The stake support bracket further includes a first extension transverse to the third panel and extending away from the first panel and a second extension transverse to the first panel and extending away from the third panel. The stake support bracket provides support to the bottom and the sides of the stake and reduces probabilities of wobbling or pivoting of the stakes.
