Abstract
A battery pack is communicated with a luggage compartment via an outlet such that cooling air that has been heat transferred with a battery is released into the luggage compartment. A ventilation hole is formed in a rear portion of the luggage compartment. An inlet is opened toward the outside of the vehicle. An exhaust fan that discharges the cooling air at the temperature increased through heat transfer with the battery in the battery pack is provided to the front of the ventilation hole.
