A hybrid car (100) is a vehicle capable of being externally charged through a charging cable (21). The hybrid car (100) includes a front door (50) opened and closed when an occupant gets into and out of a vehicle cabin, and a cable reel (20) mounted within the front door (50) for taking up the charging cable (21). The front door (50) has a resin portion (55) located above the cable reel (20). A pull-out opening (26) directed to the resin portion (55) for pulling out the charging cable (21) is formed in the cable reel (20). A take-out opening (41) for taking out the charging cable (21) pulled out from the pull-out opening (26) from the front door (50) to outside of the vehicle is formed in the resin portion (55). This configuration can improve workability during charging.
