A body-in-white (BIW) of an electric vehicle includes an integrated battery frame having an integrated cover and a lower tray that may be joined together for holding a battery pack for powering the EV. The integrated battery frame extends between and connects to each of two opposite rocker panels of the BIW and provides a floor of the vehicle for mounting cabin components/assemblies such as passenger seats. The integrated battery frame also functions to enclose a battery compartment for protecting batteries from water intrusion and crash events. The integrated battery frame and BIW of the present disclosure provides an efficient EV architecture that eliminates redundant structures and components, improves load paths, and increases space for batteries.
