Vehicle drive device

A vehicle drive device comprising:

• a rotary electric machine including a rotor;
• an output member being drivingly connected to a wheel;
• a power transmission mechanism that transmits driving force between the rotary electric machine and the output member;
• an inverter module for drive-controlling the rotary electric machine;
• a power source module that is electrically connected to an in-vehicle battery and includes at least one of a voltage conversion circuit that performs conversion of voltage of the in-vehicle battery, a charging circuit for performing charging from an external power source to the in-vehicle battery, and a power supply circuit for performing power supply from the in-vehicle battery to an outside;
• and
• a case including a first housing chamber that houses the rotary electric machine and the power transmission mechanism, and a second housing chamber that houses the inverter module and the power source module, wherein,
• when a direction along a rotor axis being a rotational axis of the rotor is defined as an axial direction, a direction orthogonal to the rotor axis in an up-down direction view is defined as an axis-orthogonal direction, and one side in the axis-orthogonal direction is defined as an axis-orthogonal direction first side,
• an output axis being a rotational axis of the output member is arranged coaxially with the rotor axis,
• the power transmission mechanism includes an offset gear mechanism being arranged on an offset axis being located on the axis-orthogonal direction first side with respect to the rotor axis and the output axis,
• the second housing chamber includes, while the vehicle drive device is in an in-vehicle state of being mounted on a vehicle, an upper area being an area being located on an upper side with respect to the rotary electric machine and overlapping the rotary electric machine in an up-down direction view, and a lateral area being an area being located on the axis-orthogonal direction first side with respect to the rotary electric machine, not overlapping the rotary electric machine in an up-down direction view, and overlapping the offset gear mechanism in an axial direction view,
• at least a part of the inverter module is arranged in the upper area, and
• at least a part of the power source module is arranged in the lateral area.
