The four wheel vehicle uses an electric motor (142) for driving the vehicle and a battery unit (160) for supplying electric power to the electric motor. The lower chassis (5) of the vehicle includes a pair of front side frames (10) extending linearly in a fore and aft direction with an upward slant and a progressively increasing lateral mutual spacing from a front part thereof to a rear part thereof, a pair of rear side frames (12) connected to rear ends of the respective front side frames, and extending linearly in a fore and aft direction with an upward slant from a front part thereof to a rear part thereof in continuation of the corresponding front side frames in a mutually parallel relationship, and a plurality of cross members (14, 16, 18, 20, 22) connecting the side frames to each other.

A wheel suspension for the rear axle of a vehicle has a wheel carrier for fastening a rear wheel. A link system including at least two links is fastened on the wheel carrier to enable fastening on a vehicle body of the vehicle. The wheel carrier has a link portion for direct or indirect mounting on the vehicle body of the vehicle.

A battery electric vehicle including an axle, a motor, a suspension, an inverter, a power cable, and a support bracket is provided. The axle extends in a vehicle-width direction. The motor is coupled to the axle, and drives the axle. The suspension supports the axle and the motor, and causes the axle and the motor to swing along a circular arc when viewed in the vehicle-width direction. The inverter is fixed to a chassis, and supplies electric power to the motor. The power cable connects the inverter and the motor. The support bracket supports the power cable, and swings together with the motor. The power cable is supported by the support bracket, at a position that is closer to the center of the circular arc than a position of half of the radius of the circular arc is when viewed in the vehicle-width direction.
