An information control device for an electric vehicle including a vehicle-mounted battery that is charged with electric power supplied from a power supply provided at an outside of the vehicle includes a lock operation detector, a remaining power detector, and a notification controller. The lock operation detector is configured to detect a lock operation of a door lock mechanism of the vehicle. The remaining power detector is configured to detect a remaining power amount of the vehicle-mounted battery. The notification controller is configured to control a notifying device to make a notification to the outside of the vehicle. The notification is indicative of information that recommends power charge of the vehicle-mounted battery if the remaining power amount is small when the door lock mechanism has been locked or is to be locked, based on detection results of the lock operation detector and the remaining power detector.

Information control device for electric vehicle, electric vehicle, and method for guiding timing of power charge

A collecting exhaust port provided in a cylinder head is comprised of exhaust port sections extending from exhaust valve bores in cylinders , and an exhaust collecting section in which the exhaust port sections are collected. The cylinder head includes a protrusion projecting in an arch shape outside a side wall of a cylinder block . The exhaust collecting section of the collecting exhaust port directly faces an inner surface of a side wall of the protrusion . Water jackets J and J for cooling the protrusion are provided in upper and lower surfaces of the protrusion having the collecting exhaust port defined therein. The water jackets J and J are not provided between the side wall of the protrusion and the exhaust collecting section . Thus, the compact cylinder head having the collecting exhaust port integrally provided therein can be formed, while avoiding the complication of the structure of a core.
