Abstract
A vehicle generally includes a motor that drives wheels of the vehicle, a high voltage battery that supplies electric power to the motor, and an exhaust system that exhausts a gas generated by the high voltage battery from the vehicle. The exhaust system for a battery includes an exhaust fan that exhausts the gas generated by the high voltage battery, a control unit that controls operation of the exhaust fan, and a collision detection unit that detects a collision of the vehicle. The control unit has a structure that operates the exhaust fan when the collision detection unit detects a collision of a vehicle.
