Original Abstract Submitted
A vehicle includes a battery case, a frame member, and a wire harness. The battery case includes an upper case and a lower case and houses a battery. The frame member faces the upper case. The upper case includes a first case-side portion. The frame member includes a first frame-side portion that faces the first case-side portion. The wire harness is disposed so as to pass through a gap between the first case-side portion and the first frame-side portion, and includes a covering portion made of an elastic member that covers an outer circumference of the wire harness. The covering portion is in contact with the first case-side portion and the first frame-side portion, and is sandwiched between the first case-side portion and the first frame-side portion.
