VEHICLE DRIVING APPARATUS

A vehicle driving apparatus includes: an electric motor including a rotor provided movably in an axial direction relative to a rotor shaft and a stator disposed on an outside of the rotor in a radial direction; a first gear provided movably in the axial direction relative to the rotor shaft and disposed so as to face an end face of the rotor; a power transmission path including a second gear engaged with the first gear and coupling the first gear and wheels to each other; and an actuator that moves the rotor to a first position and a second position. The rotor is moved to the second position by the actuator. The first gear is urged in the axial direction due to a magnetic force applied between the rotor and the first gear. A tooth surface of the first gear is pushed against a tooth surface of the second gear.
