Abstract

An electrically driven vehicle includes a floor panel, a tunnel section, an electrical storage device, and an electric power line. The tunnel section is formed in a vehicle forward/rearward direction in a central portion of the floor panel in a vehicle width direction. The electrical storage device is disposed behind the tunnel section of the vehicle above the floor panel. The electric power line is disposed below the tunnel section and connected to the electrical storage device. The tunnel section has an opening portion formed in a rear end portion of the tunnel section located in front of the electrical storage device of the vehicle and through which the electric power line is inserted.

Claims (44)

1. An electrically driven vehicle, comprising:

a floor panel that constitutes a bottom surface of a vehicle body;

a tunnel section formed in a vehicle forward/rearward direction in a central portion of the floor panel in a vehicle width direction;

an electrical storage device disposed behind the tunnel section of the vehicle and above the floor panel;

an electric power line disposed below the tunnel section and connected to the electrical storage device;

a first cross member provided on the floor panel and extending in the vehicle width direction between the tunnel section and the electrical storage device; and

a second cross member provided on the floor panel behind the electrical storage device of the vehicle and extending in the vehicle width direction,

wherein the tunnel section has an opening portion formed in a rear end portion of the tunnel section located in front of the electrical storage device of the vehicle and through which the electric power line is inserted,

a central portion of the first cross member is formed lower than both end portions of the first cross member, and

the electric power line is disposed on both end portions of the first cross member to overlap a projection plane in the vehicle width direction.

2. The electrically driven vehicle according to claim 1 , comprising:

an exhaust pipe disposed below the tunnel section and below the electric power line; and

a heat shielding plate disposed between the exhaust pipe and the electric power line,

wherein the heat shielding plate extends below the opening portion.

3. The electrically driven vehicle according to claim 1 , comprising:

a cover section fixed to the first cross member and the second cross member to cover the electrical storage device and having another opening portion through which the electric power line is able to be inserted.

4. The electrically driven vehicle according to claim 3 , comprising:

a reinforcement member configured to connect the tunnel section and the cover section above the electric power line.

5. The electrically driven vehicle according to claim 4 , comprising:

an exhaust pipe disposed below the tunnel section and below the electric power line; and

a heat shielding plate disposed between the exhaust pipe and the electric power line,

wherein the heat shielding plate extends below the opening portion.

6. The electrically driven vehicle according to claim 3 , comprising:

an exhaust pipe disposed below the tunnel section and below the electric power line; and

a heat shielding plate disposed between the exhaust pipe and the electric power line,

wherein the heat shielding plate extends below the opening portion.

7. An electrically driven vehicle, comprising:

a floor panel that constitutes a bottom surface of a vehicle body;

a tunnel section formed in a vehicle forward/rearward direction in a central portion of the floor panel in a vehicle width direction;

an electrical storage device disposed behind the tunnel section of the vehicle and above the floor panel;

an electric power line disposed below the tunnel section and connected to the electrical storage device;

an exhaust pipe disposed below the tunnel section and below the electric power line; and

a heat shielding plate disposed between the exhaust pipe and the electric power line,

wherein the tunnel section has an opening portion formed in a rear end portion of the tunnel section located in front of the electrical storage device of the vehicle and through which the electric power line is inserted, and

the heat shielding plate extends below the opening portion.

8. An electrically driven vehicle, comprising:

a floor panel that constitutes a bottom surface of a vehicle body;

a tunnel section formed in a vehicle forward/rearward direction in a central portion of the floor panel in a vehicle width direction;

an electrical storage device disposed behind the tunnel section of the vehicle and above the floor panel;

an electric power line disposed below the tunnel section and connected to the electrical storage device;

a first cross member provided on the floor panel and extending in the vehicle width direction between the tunnel section and the electrical storage device; and

a second cross member provided on the floor panel behind the electrical storage device of the vehicle and extending in the vehicle width direction,

wherein the tunnel section has an opening portion formed in a rear end portion of the tunnel section located in front of the electrical storage device of the vehicle and through which the electric power line is inserted, and

a central portion of the first cross member is formed lower than both end portions of the first cross member.
