The utility model relates to an electric vehicle, in particular to a driving system of the electric vehicle. The driving system of the electric vehicle comprises a motor and a speed reducer. An output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected with an input shaft of the speed reducer, the speed reducer comprises an input gear shaft, an intermediate driving shaft, a differential and axle shaft assemblies, wherein the input gear shaft is equipped with a gear I, the intermediate gear shaft is provided with a gear II and a gear III, a casing of the differential is equipped with a gear IV, the gear I meshes with the gear II, the gear III meshes with the gear IV, the differential is connected with the left and the right axle shaft assemblies respectively, the left and the right axle shaft assemblies are respectively connected with a left wheel assembly and a right wheel assembly via a driving shaft, and the two wheel assemblies in independent suspending form are respectively connected with a vehicle body. The driving system of the electric vehicle has the advantages of reducing unsprung mass and improving ride comfort, further reducing inclination and shaking of the vehicle body, improving driving stability and guaranteeing driving comfort of the electric vehicle because the left wheel assembly and the right wheel assembly can be driven independently without interacting, and finally enlarging ground clearance and improving trafficbility.
