Abstract

An electric vehicle includes a power storage device configured to feed electric power to a motor for traveling, a front compartment provided in front of a cabin of the electric vehicle in the electric vehicle, a power supplying port that is provided in the front compartment and outputs electric power from the power storage device and configured such that a power supplying cable is connected with the power supplying port, an external power supplying device configured to feed electric power of the power storage device to an outside of the electric vehicle from the power supplying port, and a fuel cell stack disposed inside the front compartment.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An electric vehicle comprising:
 a power storage device configured to feed electric power to a motor for traveling;   a front compartment provided in front of a cabin of the electric vehicle in the electric vehicle;   a power supplying port that is provided in the front compartment and outputs electric power from the power storage device and configured such that a power supplying cable is connected with the power supplying port;   an external power supplying device configured to feed electric power of the power storage device to an outside of the electric vehicle from the power supplying port; and   a fuel cell stack disposed inside the front compartment.   
     
     
         2 . The electric vehicle according to  claim 1 , further comprising an impact absorption member provided inside the front compartment and configured to absorb an impact from a front side of the electric vehicle by deformation, wherein the power supplying port is provided behind the impact absorption member in the electric vehicle. 
     
     
         3 . The electric vehicle according to  claim 1 , further comprising a power control unit connected with the power storage device and the motor, wherein;
 the power control unit is configured to drive the motor by using electric power from the power storage device;   the power control unit is provided in a front portion of the electric vehicle; and   the external power supplying device is connected with an electric power line that connects the power control unit and the power storage device with each other.   
     
     
         4 . The electric vehicle according to  claim 1 , further comprising a hood configured to open and close the front compartment, wherein:
 the power supplying port is provided at a position below the hood in the electric vehicle; and   the power supplying port is separated from the hood by a given distance.   
     
     
         5 . The electric vehicle according to  claim 1 , wherein the power supplying port is provided such that an outlet for the power supplying cable is directed obliquely upward and forward. 
     
     
         6 . The electric vehicle according to  claim 1 , wherein the power supplying port is provided behind a front surface of the fuel cell stack in the electric vehicle. 
     
     
         7 . The electric vehicle according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a mount portion that is attached to an outer edge of the fuel cell stack and configured to fix the fuel cell stack to a vehicle body of the electric vehicle, wherein the power supplying port is provided behind the mount portion in the electric vehicle.   
     
     
         8 . The electric vehicle according to  claim 1 , wherein the power supplying port is provided behind a front surface of the fuel cell stack.
