Electrical energy store for a motor vehicle, motor vehicle, and method for the production thereof

An electrical energy store for a motor vehicle includes storage cells, a retaining element which is supported on the storage cells and by way of which the storage cells are fixed relative to one another, and a current collecting element common to the storage cells and held on the retaining element, to which current collecting element a terminal of each storage cell is electrically connected. The terminal of each storage cell is electrically connected to the current collecting element via a connection element, which is pre-mounted on the retaining element at a mounting point independently of the current collecting element and independently of the storage cells.
