The pair of lower legs extend in a longitudinal direction from the cross bar and are secured to the pair of opposed brackets. The plate is secured to the cross bar and the pair of lower legs. The bushings are secured to the pair of opposed brackets and are configured to be mounted to a frame of the electric vehicle. The bushings allow the motor, the pair of opposed brackets, and the attachment structure to move upward in response to a certain applied load exceeding a predetermined threshold to the plate.
An electric vehicle includes a pair of opposed longitudinal outer rails, a plurality of cross beams, a pair of opposed longitudinal inner rails, a housing and a plurality of bushings. The cross beams extend in a transverse direction of the electric vehicle and include first and second cross beams secured to the pair of opposed longitudinal outer rails. The pair of opposed longitudinal inner rails are located inboard of the pair of opposed longitudinal outer rails and between the first and second cross beams. The pair of opposed longitudinal inner rails are secured to the first and second cross beams to form a box. The housing is connected to the box and is configured to be connected to the motor. The bushings are at least partially supported by the housing.

A system for a vehicle includes an air conditioning system, a motorized directional air flow control feature, a display, and a controller configured to initiate a variable air flow routine. Initiation of the variable air flow routine prompts execution of a predetermined actuation sequence of the motorized directional air flow control feature such that the direction of air flowing from the air conditioning system into a cabin of the vehicle is varied sequentially by the motorized directional air flow control feature. Initiation of the variable air flow routine further prompts the display to display an air flow graphic having a directional quality that corresponds with the orientation of the motorized directional air flow control feature such that the directional quality of the air flow graphic varies sequentially with the direction of the air flowing from the air conditioning system.
