My hunch was Tesla Roadster, which is basically just a Lotus Elise.or anything Tesla.
Yes, it looks roughly like most of the underfloor packs which are shaped to bump up into available space under the seats, and I thought of Kia/Hyundai because of the forced air cooling, but none of the details appear to match the Soul (or Kona).Looks pretty damned similar to the SOUL EV, which are apparently LiPos, a little less symetric:

Yeah, wrong shape, but also this pack looks way too long for an Elise or even the slightly stretched Roadster. It has to be from something with a back seat.My hunch was Tesla Roadster, which is basically just a Lotus Elise.
That fits the "regular car, but looks like a conversion, but is still oem" theme, and they look small...
Researching...
Nope, they had a wall of trunk batteries, not a skateboard.
Yea you're right. I've seen the roadster's battery first hand before. Doesnt look like this one bit.My hunch was Tesla Roadster, which is basically just a Lotus Elise.

I watched a YouTube video on a car that has a battery pack exactly like this. Built around an ICE frame, only a few hundred or a few thousand produced, and the prismatic cells were entirely air cooled (and heated) so efficiency was terrible. I'm gonna see if I can find that video now.The slot through the middle suggests that this pack was designed to fit under an existing vehicle structure (that's presumably clearance for a crossmember), but it's obviously an OEM product rather than a conversion. It looks like it has cooling fans at the back, so it wouldn't be liquid-cooled. Something European (e.g Renault) perhaps?
It's not from a BMW i3 or anything Tesla.
It's not from a Nissan Leaf, Kia Soul EV, Hyundai Kona EV, Chevrolet Volt Spark or Bolt, Smart, Mitsubishi i-MiEV, Audi e-tron, or recent Renault Zoe and I'm pretty sure it's not from a VW eGolf, Ford Focus Electric, or Fiat 500e, although they are all adapted from existing platforms.
If you have access to the pack - not just this image - there should be some sort of useful label.
The video doesn't show the top of the pack, but the on-screen representation appears to be an attempt to be realistic, and doesn't really match.
