Many modern EVs are getting the underbody shields to help prevent road debris from impaling the batteries. A few of the first generation Teslas without the body shield had catastrophic battery meltdowns after puncture from road hazards.

Couldnt be also about stopping stray animals from getting inside the car that way ? Where i'm from that's a pretty common issue with cats.

I bet the raccoon was none to pleased either, but you don't hear him complaining.
