Abstract

A container and a charging unit are positioned on an electric vehicle in which only a limited space is available. The container is used for holding a helmet and other items and is disposed under a seat. A charging unit is disposed behind the container and above a rear wheel. Since a comparatively large space can be secured behind the container disposed under the seat, and above the rear wheel, the charging unit may be comparatively large.
