本发明之课题在于提供一种可使电容器之残余电荷良好地放电，可容易地接续电气(access)组件(electrical component)之电动车辆。本发明系一种电动车辆(10)，其具有马达驱动部(64)用以将来自主电池(60)之电力供给到马达(28)而驱动该马达(28)，其中，马达驱动部(64)具备有：换流器(78)，用以将来自电池(60)之直流电流变换为交流电流；电容器(80)，用以稳定换流器(78)之运作；电阻器(86)，用来使充电在电容器(80)之电荷进行放电；和放电操作手段(106)，借由手动使充电在电容器(80)之电荷对电阻器(86)放电。

To provide an electric vehicle that provides good discharge of residual electric charges of a capacitor, thereby ensuring easy accessibility to the electronic components. An electric vehicle (10) includes a motor drive section (64) that supplies electric power from a main battery (60) to a motor (28) to drive the motor (28). The motor drive section (64) is provided with: an inverter (78) configured to convert direct current from the main battery (60) into alternating current; a capacitor (80) configured to stabilize an operation of the inverter (78); a resistor (86) configured to discharge electric charge of the capacitor (80); and discharge operation means (106) configured to manually make the resistor (86) to discharge the electric charge of the capacitor (80).
