A battery pack protection system is provided for use with an electric vehicle in which the battery pack is mounted under the car. The system utilizes a bumper that is attached to the front of the battery pack enclosure and which is configured to (i) deflect debris striking the bumper and (ii) absorb impact energy due to the debris, thereby minimizing the transference of impact energy to the battery pack and the batteries contained within the pack.
