Abstract
As a cooling draft flows from a rear side to a front side of battery cells (72) inside a battery pack (30), it is divided into two cooling drafts (F1, F2) in a left-right direction, which is the direction that the battery cells (72) are disposed in parallel, and those two cooling drafts respectively flow through a plurality of passageways that longitudinally extend along the battery cells (72). More particularly, a second battery cell (722) is cooled by the cooling draft flowing in a second ventilation-path volume (Q2) before a first battery cell (721) and a third battery cell (723) are cooled by cooling drafts respectively flowing in a first ventilation-path volume (Q1) and a third ventilation-path volume (Q3), which are longer than the second ventilation-path volume (Q2).
