High voltage battery deployable exhaust system

A vehicle comprising:

• a battery pack including a housing that stores a plurality of batteries for providing electric power to the vehicle;
• a first pair of vents attached to the housing that are configured to expel exhaust gases generated by the plurality of batteries;
• a second pair of vents attached to the housing that are configured to expel the exhaust gases generated by the plurality of batteries;
• a manifold located proximate the housing for collecting the exhaust gases expelled by the first pair of vents and the second pair of vents;
• a first pair of ducts connected to the first pair of vents and the manifold, the first pair of ducts configured to receive the exhaust gases expelled by the first pair of vents and communicate the exhaust gases to the manifold;
• and
• a flexible conduit including an inlet in communication with the manifold and an outlet configured to expel the exhaust gases,
• wherein the second pair of vents expel the exhaust gases directly into the manifold;
• and
• wherein the flexible conduit includes a non-deployed state where the flexible conduit is rolled or folded and stored in a storage space located proximate the manifold, and includes a deployed state where the flexible conduit extends outward from the vehicle upon receipt of the exhaust gases from the manifold.
