PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simplify a frame structure while commonalizing components and enable efficient arrangement of a drive apparatus and electrical components in an electric vehicle having left and right drive wheels.SOLUTION: An electric vehicle includes: a drive apparatus 12 having a motor 13 and a speed reducer 14; and a drive apparatus support frame 35 disposed encircling the drive apparatus 12. The speed reducer 14 is disposed at a left-right center of a vehicular body; the motor 13 is disposed with its axis direction along a left-right direction of the vehicle so as to extend to one side of the left-right direction, and disposed between the speed reducer 14 and a left lower side frame 27 of the drive apparatus support frame 35. 【課題】左右駆動輪を備える電動車両において、部品の共通化を図りつつフレーム構造を簡易にし、かつ駆動装置及び電装部品の効率の良い配置を可能にする。【解決手段】電気モータ１３及び減速機１４を含む駆動装置１２と、駆動装置１２を囲うように設けられる駆動装置支持フレーム３５と、を備え、減速機１４は、車体左右中心に配置され、電気モータ１３は、減速機１４の左右一側方に延出するように軸線方向を車両左右方向に沿わせて配置され、かつ減速機１４と駆動装置支持フレーム３５の左ロアサイドフレーム２７との間に配置される。【選択図】図３
