Patent Images
1. An emergency notification system for an electric vehicle, the emergency notification system comprising:
- a motor configured to drive the electric vehicle;
a control device configured to obtain present position information on the electric vehicle and communicable with a portable terminal through wired communications or near field communications;
a battery configured to supply electricity to the motor and the control device; and
a battery monitor device configured to monitor a voltage of the battery, whereinthe control device is communicable with the battery monitor device and configured to obtain voltage information on the battery, andthe control device is further configured such that, when the obtained voltage information on the battery becomes a minimum operable voltage, the control device causes transmission of the obtained present position information on the electric vehicle directly to the portable terminal through wired communications or near field communications.

Abstract
A control device obtains present position information on the vehicle. A battery supplies electricity to a motor, which is for driving an electric vehicle, and the control device. A battery monitor device monitors a voltage of the battery. When the obtained voltage information on the battery becomes a minimum operable voltage, the control device transmits the obtained present position information on the vehicle directly to a portable terminal through wired communications or near field communications.
