Abstract
An exhaust structure includes a first exhaust path and a second exhaust path. The first exhaust path includes a box outlet and at least an exhaust duct that includes a duct inlet arranged below a rear seat and configured to open toward a battery A. The second exhaust path is communicated with the box outlet. A deck board is disposed in a luggage room. The second exhaust path includes space defined by a front end portion of the deck board closer to a front of a vehicle and at least a portion of the backrest of the rear seat and a gap defined by a front surface of the front end portion of the deck board and a portion of a back surface of the backrest opposite the front surface. Gas used for cooling down the battery is released from the gap to the luggage room via a duct exhaust conduit, a box exhaust conduit, a first interspace exhaust conduit, and a second interspace exhaust conduit.
