To improve high-voltage safety by causing the inside of a case accommodating a power conversion unit to be less likely to be exposed even if the case is destroyed in vehicle front impact, in an electric vehicle.

An electric vehicle can be traveled by a driving force of a motor disposed within a driving part accommodation chamber in a front part of the vehicle, and includes a metallic case 24 disposed within the driving part accommodation chamber and accommodating a power conversion unit for exchanging power with the motor. The case 24 includes: a case body 26 having an opening part; and a case cover 28U comprised of a metal material of which the elongation rate is greater than the case body 26 and mounted to the case body 26 so as to close the opening part. In a front end portion of the case cover 28U, an extension part 29 is provided which is formed to cover at least a part of side faces of the case body 28.
