Abstract
An electrically powered vehicle includes a vehicle body, a battery module, a hydrogen sulfide sensor, an air conditioner, and an ECU. When the hydrogen sulfide sensor detects generation of a gas or detects that the generation of the gas is predicted, the ECU reduces an amount of airflow from the air conditioner as compared to that in a comparative state. The comparative state includes a state in which the hydrogen sulfide sensor does not detect the generation of the gas.
Claims12
A vehicle comprising:
- a vehicle body;
- a power storage device mounted on the vehicle body;
- a detection device that detects generation of a gas from the power storage device or detects that the generation of the gas is predicted;
- an air conditioner that adjusts an amount of airflow in a vehicle compartment;
- and
- a controller, wherein
- when the detection device detects the generation of the gas or detects that the generation of the gas is predicted, the controller is configured to reduce an amount of airflow from the air conditioner as compared to that in a comparative state, and
- the comparative state includes a state in which the detection device does not detect the generation of the gas.

A vehicle comprising:
- a vehicle body;
- a power storage device mounted on the vehicle body;
- a detection device that detects generation of a gas from the power storage device or detects that the generation of the gas is predicted;
- an air conditioner that adjusts an amount of airflow in a vehicle compartment and adjusts an amount of outside air to be taken into the vehicle compartment;
- and
- a controller, wherein
- when the detection device detects the generation of the gas or detects that the generation of the gas is predicted, the controller is configured to reduce the amount of outside air to be taken into the vehicle compartment, after setting an amount of airflow from the air conditioner to be equal to or lower than a specified value or after stopping the airflow.

A vehicle comprising:
- a vehicle body;
- a power storage device mounted on the vehicle body;
- a detection device that detects generation of a gas from the power storage device;
- an air conditioner that adjusts an amount of airflow in a vehicle compartment, and switches an operation mode between an inside air mode of circulating air in the vehicle compartment and an outside air mode of taking outside air into the vehicle compartment;
- and
- a controller, wherein
- when the detection device detects the generation of the gas, the controller is configured to switch the operation mode to the inside air mode, after setting an amount of airflow from the air conditioner to be equal to or lower than a specified value or after stopping the airflow.
