BATTERY MODULE AND AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE INCLUDING THE BATTERY MODULE

The present disclosure refers to a battery module. The battery module includes a module base plate and battery cells stacked in a stacking direction on the module base plate. Further, the battery module includes at least one cooling element with a connector, wherein the cooling element is disposed on the module base plate, and at least one module cooling element connector which extends along at least a part of the stacking direction on a side of the module base plate opposite to the cooling element. The module cooling element connector includes a cooling element portion which is connected to the connector of the cooling element via a fluid connecting element of the module base plate and via sealings between the cooling element portion, the module base plate and the connector of the cooling element, wherein a flow path is formed between the cooling element portion, the module base plate and the connector of the cooling element. The module cooling element connector further includes a clamping clip portion configured to engage with the connector of the cooling element for pulling the cooling element portion and the connector towards the module base plate such that a sealing force is provided onto the sealings by the clamping clip portion.
