Abstract
A vehicle includes a vehicle body, a tire held by the vehicle body, an electric power control unit including at least one of an inverter and a converter, a case housing the electric power control unit, a first predetermined member connected to the vehicle body in an insulated state, a self-discharge static eliminator configured to reduce the positive potential of the first predetermined member by elimination of static electricity, and a transfer member electrically connecting a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion to each other. Accordingly, static electricity charged to the electric power control unit is transferred to a portion, where static elimination is performed by the self-discharge static eliminator, of the first predetermined member via the case and the transfer member so as to be neutralized and eliminated.
