Abstract

An electrically driven vehicle includes at least one wheel driven by a motor, a vehicle body including a floor panel, a battery pack arranged on the lower side of the floor panel and configured to supply power to the motor, at least one wire harness extending in a front-rear direction of the electrically driven vehicle between the floor panel and the battery pack, and a harness cover extending in the front-rear direction of the electrically driven vehicle along the at least one wire harness and interposed between the at least one wire harness and the battery pack.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electrically driven vehicle comprising:
at least one wheel driven by a motor;
a vehicle body including a floor panel;
a battery pack arranged on a lower side of the floor panel and configured to supply power to the motor;
at least one wire harness extending in a front-rear direction of the electrically driven vehicle between the floor panel and the battery pack; and
a harness cover extending in the front-rear direction of the electrically driven vehicle along the at least one wire harness and interposed between the at least one wire harness and the battery pack,
wherein the floor panel includes a tunnel portion extending in the front-rear direction at a center thereof in a right-left direction,
wherein the at least one wire harness is arranged inside the tunnel portion, and
wherein the harness cover is fixed to the floor panel that defines the tunnel portion.

2. The electrically driven vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the electrically driven vehicle includes a plurality of wire harnesses.

3. The electrically driven vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the wire harness is fixed to the harness cover.

4. The electrically driven vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the harness cover is configured to be detachable from the floor panel in a state where the wire harness is fixed to the harness cover.

5. The electrically driven vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the wire harness includes a first wire harness for power.

6. The electrically driven vehicle according to claim 5 , wherein the first wire harness for power is configured to transmit power between the motor and the battery pack.

7. The electrically driven vehicle according to claim 5 , wherein the wire harness further includes a second wire harness for power, and a rated voltage of the second wire harness is smaller than a rated voltage of the first wire harness for power.

8. The electrically driven vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the wire harness includes a wire harness for signaling.

9. The electrically driven vehicle according to claim 8 , wherein the wire harness for signaling includes a signal line that transmits or receives a signal associated with the motor.

10. The electrically driven vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the harness cover has a length extending in the front-rear direction greater than one meter.
