Original Abstract Submitted
the present disclosure generally relates to a battery pack for an electric vehicle. in some implementation examples, the battery pack has an array of battery cells and a battery pack enclosure for holding the array of battery cells. the battery pack enclosure has a top surface above the array of battery cells. an impact attenuation layer can be integrated into at least a portion of the top surface of the battery pack enclosure. the impact attenuation layer has a first sub-layer and a second sub-layer. the first sub-layer has a first puncture resistance attribute and a first impact resistance attribute and the second sub-layer has a second puncture resistance attribute and a second impact resistance attribute. the first puncture resistance attribute is higher than the second, puncture resistance attribute and the first impact resistance attribute is lower than the second impact resistance attribute.
