1. An in-vehicle wiring module configured to be attached to a plurality of electricity storage elements having electrode terminals, the in-vehicle wiring module comprising:
busbars to be connected to the electrode terminals;
a flexible substrate having a first conductive path that is electrically connected to the busbars; and
a rigid substrate having a second conductive path that is electrically connected to the first conductive path,
wherein the flexible substrate overlaps the rigid substrate,
the flexible substrate has a first opposing surface that is opposed to the rigid substrate,
the first conductive path has first lands that are arranged on the first opposing surface,
first slits that are open at an edge of the flexible substrate are formed between the first lands of the flexible substrate,
the rigid substrate has a second opposing surface that is opposed to the flexible substrate,
the second conductive path has second lands that are arranged on the second opposing surface and are electrically connected to the first lands,
second slits that are open at an edge of the rigid substrate are formed between the second lands of the rigid substrate, and
the flexible substrate further comprises:
a main body portion including the first opposing surface that is a planar upper surface opposed to and extending in parallel with a lower surface of the rigid substrate;
a vertical base portion that extends perpendicular from an end of the main body portion; and
a horizontal connecting portion including the first slits, wherein the horizontal connecting portion extends perpendicular from an upper end of the vertical base portion and has a planar surface that contacts an upper surface of the rigid substrate.
