Abstract

Provided are a battery pack and an electric vehicle. The battery pack includes a case, a cooling plate assembly and an energy storage unit. The cooling plate assembly and the energy storage unit are arranged inside the case, and the cooling plate assembly at least includes a first cooling plate. The first cooling plate is fixed on the case, and the first cooling plate divides the case, in a Z-direction, into a first accommodating space which is located above the first cooling plate, and a second accommodating space which is located below the first cooling plate. The energy storage unit at least includes a first energy storage unit which is arranged inside the first accommodating space and fixed on the first cooling plate, and a second energy storage unit which is arranged inside the second accommodating space.

Claims (21)
