A battery box is detachably supported below a floor panel at a central portion of an electric vehicle. Batteries are mounted in a rear portion of the battery box, and a control unit and a PDU are mounted in a front portion of the battery box. As a result, the positions of the control unit and the PDU are lowered, which can contribute to the lowering of the center of gravity of a vehicle, and power lines extending from the batteries via the control unit and the PDU to a road wheel driving motor can be disposed at shortest distances, whereby the lengths of the power lines can be suppressed to the minimum.
