Abstract: A floor tunnel protruding upwardly and extending in a vehicle longitudinal direction at a central position, in a vehicle width direction, of a floor panel, a cross member having ridgelines extending in the vehicle width direction at a rear end of the floor tunnel and a closed-cross section portion interconnecting a pair of right-and-left side sills, and a pair of right-and-left battery units positioned below the floor panel and between the side sills and provided on right-and-left sides, in the vehicle width direction, of the floor tunnel are provided. The cross member is provided with a reinforcement portion to reinforce the ridgelines in a range, in the vehicle width direction, which includes at least the position of the battery units and excludes the central position, in the vehicle width direction, of the floor panel.

Abstract: The lower structure of an electric vehicle includes: an automatic transmission provided below a floor panel and in an intermediate portion in a right-left direction thereof; an inverter arranged between the automatic transmission and a floor side frame; and an attachment bracket for attaching the inverter to the floor panel. The attachment bracket has an outer shell structure including: an inner wall portion dividing the inverter and the automatic transmission; an outer wall portion dividing the inverter and the floor side frame; an upper wall portion; and a lower wall portion.

Abstract: A display board illuminating device includes a light guide plate arranged to face the back of a display board and a light source disposed to face the side end of the light guide plate. The side end of the light guide plate is inclined toward the center of the light guide plate in the direction of the display board. By this configuration an angle of an optical axis refracted at the surface of the side end and incident into the light guide plate with respect to a main surface of the light guide plate, so that the whole area of the display board is illuminated efficiently.
