Abstract

A harness routing structure for an electric vehicle is provided with a floor panel, a below-floor component, an above-floor component and a harness. The floor panel partitions a cabin space and a below-floor space. The floor panel has a harness through-hole. The below-floor component is disposed below the floor panel. The above-floor component is disposed above the floor panel and further toward a front of the vehicle than the below-floor component. The harness electrically connects the below-floor component and the above-floor component. The harness runs through the through-hole. The harness through-hole is located, with respect to a vehicle-lengthwise direction of the floor panel, in an intermediate position between a below-floor harness connection position of the below-floor component to a first end of the harness and an above-floor harness connection position of the above-floor component to a second end of the harness.
