A vehicle drive device that includes a rotating electrical machine that serves as a drive power source for a first wheel and a second wheel; a differential gear device that distributes drive power from the rotating electrical machine to the first wheel and the second wheel; a reduction device that includes a planetary gear mechanism with a sun gear, a carrier, and a ring gear; and a case that accommodates the rotating electrical machine, the differential gear device, and the reduction device.

Vehicle drive device

A vehicle drive system configured with a dynamo within a case. The case is disposed on at least one axial side of the dynamo, and includes a wall portion overlapping the dynamo, which has a section that overlaps with the dynamo as viewed from the axial direction. The wall portion overlapping the dynamo includes a supply flow passage through which lubricating-cooling fluid flows, and which is formed with a first supply portion that supplies lubricating-cooling fluid to a rotor support bearing for the dynamo electric. The first supply portion includes a throttle portion whose flow passage cross-sectional area is small when compared to an upstream-side flow passage cross-sectional area in the flow direction of lubricating-cooling fluid. The supply flow passage includes a second supply portion that is a portion supplying lubricating-cooling fluid to the dynamo and higher than the first supply portion.

Vehicle drive system

An electrical connection structure that includes a first connection portion of the connection member that is fixedly fastened to the first terminal by a fastening bolt, and a second connection portion of the connection member that is connected to the second terminal through an insertable/removable plug, the first connection portion is fixedly fastened to the first terminal by inserting the fastening bolt through an insertion hole provided in one of the connection member and the first terminal, and fastening the fastening bolt in a fastening hole provided in the other of the connection member and the first terminal, the insertion hole is formed larger than a diameter of a shaft-like portion of the fastening bolt, and an inserting/removing direction of the plug and an axial direction of the fastening bolt are substantially parallel to each other.
