China was and still is doing structural batteries. Ford will in about 5 years.
I think it was more that the unibody part didn’t work so good when trying to do truck things - not the structural battery piece? Dunno, not an expert.
Has nothing to do with trucks. Everything to do with affordable EVs even tiny EVs. This is why China has been making them for so long. Also why they get high safety scores.
Look up "cell to chassis" CTC.
