Electric drive unit and vehicle

An electric drive unit, comprising:

• a motor that is arranged in a manner so that an axial direction thereof extends horizontally;
• an inverter that is arranged above the motor and controls the motor;
• a plate-shaped first bus bar that connects a first motor terminal of the motor and a first inverter terminal of the inverter;
• and
• a plate-shaped second bus bar that connects a second motor terminal of the motor and a second inverter terminal of the inverter, wherein
• the first bus bar includes:
• a first motor-side terminal piece that is connected to the first motor terminal;
• a first inverter-side terminal piece that is connected to the first inverter terminal;
• and
• a first connection piece that connects the first motor-side terminal piece and the first inverter-side terminal piece,
• the second bus bar includes:
• a second motor-side terminal piece that is connected to the second motor terminal;
• a second inverter-side terminal piece that is connected to the second inverter terminal;
• and
• a second connection piece that connects the second motor-side terminal piece and the second inverter-side terminal piece,
• a lateral direction that extends horizontally and crosses the axial direction of the motor is defined,
• the first connection piece and the second connection piece are arranged side by side in the lateral direction,
• the first connection piece is located on a first side in the lateral direction of the second connection piece, and extends from a first side to a second side in the axial direction while facing the lateral direction,
• the second connection piece is located on a second side in the lateral direction of the first connection piece, and extends from the first side to the second side in the axial direction while facing the lateral direction,
• the first inverter-side terminal piece and the second inverter-side terminal piece are arranged side by side in the axial direction,
• the first inverter-side terminal piece is bent from a first end portion in the axial direction of the first connection piece to the second side in the lateral direction in such a manner to face an up-down direction,
• the second inverter-side terminal piece is bent from a first end portion in the axial direction of the second connection piece to the first side in the lateral direction in such a manner to face the up-down direction,
• the first motor-side terminal piece is bent from a second end portion in the axial direction of the first connection piece to the first side in the lateral direction in such a manner to face the axial direction, and
• the second motor-side terminal piece is bent from a second end portion in the axial direction of the second connection piece to the second side in the lateral direction in such a manner to face the axial direction.
