Abstract

An electric vehicle harness routing structure is to provide a harness routing structure for an electric vehicle in which, when connecting a relatively movable power unit and charging ports with a quick charging harness and a regular charging harness, it is possible to prevent interference of both charging harnesses. A normal charging harness (44) between the body-side constraint point (53a) by a first normal-charge harness clip (53) which is fixed to a vehicle body and a normal unit-side constraint point (54a) by a second normal-charge harness clip (54) which is fixed to a power unit (10) which in turn is elastically supported on the vehicle body is configured to be shorter in length than a quick charge harness (43) between a quick body-side constraint point (51 a) by a first quick-charge harness clip (51) which is fixed to the vehicle body, and a quick unit-side constraint point (52a) by a second quick-charge harness clip (52) which is fixed to the power unit (10) which is elastically supported on the vehicle body.

An electric vehicle harness routing structure for an electric vehicle having an electric motor as a drive source, a control device to control the electric motor as well as charging of a battery for power supply to the electric motor, and a power unit elastically supported on a vehicle body, the harness routing structure comprising:

a charging port fixedly supported on the vehicle body;
a quick charging harness configured to be connected the power unit and the charging port;
a normal charging harness configured to be connected the power unit and the charging port, the normal charging harness being more flexible than the quick-charge harness;
a first quick-charge harness clip coupled to a first intermediate portion of the quick charging harness, the first quick-charge harness clip being configured to be fixed to the vehicle body,
a second quick-charge harness clip coupled to a second intermediate portion of the quick charging harness between the first quick-charge harness clip and the power unit, the first quick-charge harness clip being configured to be fixed to the power unit,
a first normal-charge harness clip coupled to a first intermediate portion of the normal charging harness, the first normal-charge harness clip being configured to be fixed to the vehicle body;
and
a second normal-charge harness clip by coupled to a second intermediate portion of the normal charging harness between the first normal-charge harness clip and the power unit, the second normal-charge harness clip being configured to be fixed to the power unit,
the normal charging harness between a normal body-side constraint point by the first normal-charge harness clip and a normal unit-side constraint point by the second normal-charge harness clip is shorter in length that the quick charging harness between the quick body-side constraint point by the first quick-charge harness clip and the second quick unit-side constraint point by the second quick-charge harness clip.
