At positions under a floor panel 10, the first and second battery units 31, 32 are arranged on both sides in a vehicle width direction of a propeller shaft. The battery cover 60 has a coupling section 71 that couples first and second battery accommodation sections 61, 66. The coupling section 71 couples the first and second battery accommodation sections 61, 66 such that a vehicle rear side thereof is higher than the first and second battery accommodation sections 61, 66, extends in the vehicle width direction at a position above the propeller shaft 7, and is arranged next to a vehicle front side of the fuel tank 20.
