Abstract

A structure for arranging an auxiliary component of an electric vehicle has an auxiliary-component moving device for moving an auxiliary component disposed in a front body such that an overall length of the auxiliary component becomes less than an original overall length of the auxiliary components in a case where the front body is compressed and deformed. It is possible to reduce the amount of an impact load which is transmitted from an object located in front of the vehicle to a vehicle compartment by means of the auxiliary component.
