Abstract
The present invention provides a body construction for an electric car having a flat floor and allowing batteries to be easily mounted therein and removed therefrom and to be accommodated under the floor in a space-effective manner, in which power lines are rationally wired. The batteries feed power to a plurality of in-wheel motors. A front wheel frame supporting the front wheels and a rear wheel frame supporting the rear wheels are coupled by a backbone member having an approximately rectangular hollow cross-section, and pluralities of battery-accommodating hollow frames connect perpendicular to the right and left side surfaces of the backbone member, so as to lie parallel to each other.
