If I had to take a guess, it would be that. Kind of like an I beam. The cross-section gives us strength to support the otherwise buckling weight of the bottom. It’s a lot easier to support an engine and then to support a giant flat wide thingGood point. I didn't think of that. I figured it was because the perimeter frame was so massive due to the battery weight.
Well....now that I think about it, the HV cables are probably in the center of the vehicle for safety reasons. I doubt they would be outboard since that makes them susceptible to crash damage. Now the cooling lines is a different story though.....
