Abstract:
A motor unit according to an aspect of the present invention includes: a motor having a rotor that rotates about a motor axis and a stator located radially outside the rotor; an inverter that controls a current to be supplied to the motor; a housing body having a motor housing portion that houses the motor and an inverter housing portion that houses the inverter; and an inverter housing configured to cover an opening of the inverter housing portion while supporting the inverter. The housing body is provided with a first cooling path through which a first refrigerant for cooling the motor flows. The inverter housing is provided with a second cooling path through which a second refrigerant for cooling the inverter flows.
