1. A vehicle comprising:

  • a high-voltage power supply;

    a low-voltage power supply;

    a traveling motor;

    an inverter mounted in a front space of the vehicle, the inverter configured to convert direct current power that is output from the high-voltage power supply to alternative current power and supply the alternative current power to the traveling motor;

    a wire harness arranged at a rear of the inverter, the wire harness extending in a vehicle width direction;

    a high-voltage power line configured to supply electric power of the high-voltage power supply to the inverter, the high-voltage power line including a high-voltage connector, the high-voltage connector connected to a rear surface of the inverter that faces a rear of the vehicle, the high-voltage connector including fixing members that fix the high-voltage connector to the inverter, and the fixing members having release portions;

    a low-voltage power line configured to supply electric power of the low-voltage power supply to the inverter, the low-voltage power line including a low-voltage connector, the low-voltage connector being connected to an upper surface of the inverter, the low-voltage connector including an extended section, the extended section that extends toward the wire harness, the extended section that covers the release portions, an upper surface of the extended section that declines rearward, and an upper surface rear end of the extended section being located below a center in a cross section of the wire harness; and

    a shutoff circuit configured to electrically shut off the high-voltage connector from the high-voltage power supply when the low-voltage connector is released from the inverter.
