What does the underside of an electric car look like?

I’ve looked under the hood of an electric car, and surprise! No engine. Without the same pieces as a regular car; can you tell me what the underside of an electric car looks like?

There are some very notable differences between a traditional vehicle and an EV. If you were to flip over an
electric car
to the underside, you would find a large battery pack.
This heavy-weighted battery powers the vehicle instead of a classic engine. With fewer moving parts than a traditional vehicle, there’s not much to see on the underside of an electric car. As the heaviest component of the vehicle, the underside is the best place for the battery. It helps to improve the overall stability of the car.
