To provide a hybrid vehicle equipped with an electric motor and a fuel tank arranged in front of the electric motor, which is configured so that even if a connector gets broken when a rear part of the vehicle collides with an object, the electric motor and a body of the vehicle can be maintained at the same potential, which can prevent a human body from getting electrically shocked.SOLUTION: A hybrid vehicle is equipped with an extended part 45 extended from a plate part 44b, which electrically connects a shell cover 38 of a connector 34 to a motor housing 30 for a rear motor 24, which even if a fuel tank 22 and the connector 34 mounted on the motor housing 30 interfere with each other, so that the connector 34 gets broken, when a rear part of the vehicle collides with an object, enables the extended part 45 to maintain the motor housing 30 for the rear motor 24 and a vehicle body 54 at the same potential, which can prevent a human body from getting electrically shocked even if the body touches the motor housing 30.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4
