ELECTRIC VEHICLE

To provide an electric vehicle characterized by a cooling structure whose space can be saved and whose cost can be decreased.SOLUTION: An electric vehicle 1 in accordance with an embodiment includes wheels 14, an electric motor 5 that drives the wheels 14, plural battery cells 35, and a battery housing 31 accommodating the battery cells 35. Further, the electric vehicle includes a battery 3 that supplies electric power to the electric motor 5, an onboard charger 4 that is opposed to an external surface of the battery housing 31 so as to form an air channel 21 between the external surface of the battery housing 31 and onboard charger, and used to charge the battery 3, and a cooling fan 7 that generates a flow of air passing through the air channel 21 between the onboard charger 4 and battery housing 31.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】冷却構造の省スペース化および低コスト化が可能な電動車両を提供する。【解決手段】実施形態に係る電動車両１は、車輪１４と、車輪１４を駆動する電動モータ５と、複数の電池セル３５および複数の電池セル３５を収容するバッテリ筐体３１を有し、電動モータ５に電力を供給するバッテリ３と、バッテリ筐体３１の外表面との間に空気流路２１を形成するようにバッテリ筐体３１の外表面と間隔をあけて対向して配置され、バッテリ３の充電に用いられる車載充電器４と、車載充電器４とバッテリ筐体３１との間の空気流路２１を通る空気の流れを発生させる冷却ファン７とを備える。【選択図】図２
