Electric motor vehicle

An electric motor vehicle comprising:

• a battery that serves as a driving source for generating electric power;
• a pair of positive and negative electrode portions respectively connected to a positive electrode and a negative electrode of the battery;
• a resistor formed of a resistive material;
• and
• a first and a second contact portions connected to the resistor, the first and the second contact portion facing the positive electrode portion and the negative electrode portion, respectively, wherein:
• the resistor is kept insulated from the battery in a normal operation state of the electric motor vehicle;
• and
• at least one of the positive electrode, the first contact portion, the negative electrode and the second contact portion are displaced owing to an external force applied to the electric motor in an abnormal operation state such that the positive electrode is in contact with the first contact portion and the negative electrode is in contact with the second contact portion, and into the positive electrode and the negative electrode are short circuited in an abnormal operation state.
