An electric vehicle includes: an intake device provided upstream of an intake pipe of an engine; a power transmission device configured to transmit a power of an electric motor to drive wheel; an electric-power control device configured to control an electric power transferred between a driving battery and the electric motor; and a charger configured to charge the driving battery with the electric power supplied from an external power supply. The electric motor and the power transmission device constitute at least a part of a driving apparatus. The driving apparatus and the electric-power control device constitute a mechanical-electrical integrated unit which is housed in a single casing and which is located in a position adjacent to the engine. The charger and the intake device are located on an upper side of the mechanical-electrical integrated unit in a vertical direction of the electric vehicle.
