Abstract: A battery module case includes: a first case in which a plurality of first battery cells is held in a stacked state and which includes a first plate formed with a first cutout portion from which an end surface of one of the first battery cells which is adjacent to the first plate is exposed; and a second case in which a plurality of second battery cells is held in a stacked state and which includes a second plate confronting the first plate and formed with a second cutout portion from which an end surface of one of the second battery cells which is adjacent to the second plate is exposed. When the first and the second plates are arranged adjacent to each other, the first cutout portion and the second cutout portion define a passage in which cooling fluid can flow between the first plate and the second plate.

Abstract: An electric vehicle which can cool a power unit by cold airstreams without causing dew drops and a temperature rise in a vehicle interior is provided. The electric vehicle travels by operating a motor, and includes a duct having one end joined to the air conditioning unit and the other end joined to the power unit and serving as an airstream flow path via which cold airstreams are guided from an air conditioning unit to the power unit. The duct is shaped in accordance with a shape of a vehicle interior near a front passenger's seat, and being positioned under a floor at the front passenger's seat.

Abstract: An air-conditioning system of an electric car has an air-conditioning unit which is configured to perform air-conditioning in a passenger compartment by heater/cooler operation, a setting panel configured to set a target temperature of the passenger compartment, and a control unit which is connected to the air-conditioning unit and setting panel, and has different control of heater operation of the air-conditioning unit, wherein the control unit is configured to select controls of heater operation based on a vehicle speed v.

Abstract: An engine control apparatus reduces a driver's feeling of wrongness in a vehicle equipped with an air-conditioning apparatus. A larger one of a first load torque estimated value obtained by estimating a compressor load torque of the air conditioner based on a refrigerant pressure, and a second load torque estimated value obtained by estimating a load torque of the compressor based on an outside air temperature is selected as an air conditioner load to an engine control unit, and an engine output is corrected by using the air conditioner load.
