To improve convenience in an intake structure which takes air in a vehicle cabin to cool a power storage module.SOLUTION: An intake structure 10 includes: an interior member 20 provided with an opening 21 which opens to an interior of a vehicle cabin; a duct 30 which communicates with the opening 21 and guides air suctioned from the opening 21 to a power storage module; a filter unit 40 which collects foreign objects contained in the air suctioned into the duct 30; and an intake grille 50 which is provided with suction holes and fixed to the interior member 20 so that the air suctioned from the suction holes passes through the filter unit 40. The filter unit 40 is formed separately from the intake grille 50 and fixed to the interior member 20 in a state in which the filter unit 40 makes no contact with the intake grille 50.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4 【課題】蓄電モジュールを冷却するために車両室内の空気を取り込む吸気構造において、利便性を向上させる。【解決手段】吸気構造１０は、車両室内に向けて開口する開口部２１が設けられた内装部材２０と、開口部２１に連通し、開口部２１から吸い込まれた空気を蓄電モジュールに導くダクト３０と、ダクト３０に吸い込まれる空気に含まれる異物を捕集するフィルタユニット４０と、複数の吸気孔が設けられ、複数の吸気孔から吸い込まれた空気がフィルタユニット４０を通過するように内装部材２０に固定された吸気グリル５０と、を備え、フィルタユニット４０は、吸気グリル５０と別体に構成されるとともに、吸気グリル５０と非接触の状態で内装部材２０に固定されている。【選択図】図４
