Abstract
A high power cable (53A, 53B) connects an electric terminal (51A, 51B) of a transaxle case (45) housing an electric motor (4) coupled to a drive shaft S and an electric terminal (52A, 52B) of an inverter housing (40) which supplies power to the electric motor (4) in a hybrid drive vehicle. A holder (54A, 54B) is provided which holds the high power cable (53A, 53B) in a curved shape in the axial direction of the drive shaft. The holder (54A, 54B) releases the high power cable (53A, 53B) when a predetermined external force acts on the high power cable (53A, 53B) toward the front of the vehicle.
