BATTERY MODULE AND ELECTRIC VEHICLE

The present application provides a battery module and an electric vehicle. The battery module includes a case, a longitudinal beam, and a tray. The case is provided with at least one exhaust port. The longitudinal beam is disposed in the case and is abutted against a bottom surface of the case to partition accommodating areas in the case on both sides of the longitudinal beam along a width direction. The tray is disposed in one of the accommodating areas and is configured to install a battery cell. A through hole opposite to an end of the battery cell is defined on the tray, the tray is spaced from the bottom surface of the case to define a pressure relief cavity, the through hole and the exhaust port are respectively communicated with the pressure relief cavity.
