Abstract

A vehicle drive device comprises: an electric motor as a drive force source for running, the vehicle drive device further comprising one end portion of an output rotating member of the electric motor being coupled to first drive wheels via a first power connecting/disconnecting device selectively interrupting power transmission, the other end portion of the output rotating member being coupled to second drive wheels through a second power connecting/disconnecting device selectively interrupting power transmission at a shift ratio different from a shift ratio between the one end portion and the first drive wheels, and the first power connecting/disconnecting device and the second power connecting/disconnecting device being alternatively put into a power transmittable state of transmitting power so as to shift gears between the first drive wheels or the second drive wheels and the electric motor.
