  • Patent number: 9120434
    Abstract: The present invention is a high-voltage cable routing structure for an electrically driven vehicle, comprising a battery supported on a vehicle body, a high-voltage equipment including an inverter, and multiple high-voltage cables connecting connection terminals of the battery and connection terminals of the equipment to each other. The battery, equipment, and cables are mounted on the vehicle. Regarding the structure, in a mounting space in the body, the battery and the equipment are disposed at such positions as to overlap each other vertically. The terminals of the equipment positioned at the top are provided on an upper portion thereof. The cables connected to the battery and the equipment are arranged to lead out in a direction along a vehicle width direction and to curve in such a way that middle portions thereof are located away from a lateral wall surface of the equipment in a front and rear direction.
