Abstract: A vehicle includes a battery, a charging unit, and a cable groove. The charging unit has a charging cable and a charging gun provided at one end of the charging cable and is configured to supply power to the battery from an external power supply. The cable groove is provided in a vehicle body and capable of accommodating the charging cable. When the charging cable is accommodated in the cable groove, the charging gun is disposed on an outer side of a transmission path, through which a shock load is transmitted to the battery during a collision with an external object.
