In a hybrid vehicle, rocker outer reinforcements serving as vehicle side frame members in a vehicle width direction extend in a vehicle front-rear direction. An electric power cable is provided such that a portion thereof along the vehicle front-rear direction is placed along an inner side surface of the rocker outer reinforcement in the vehicle width direction. An electric power cable is provided such that a portion thereof along the vehicle front-rear direction is placed along an inner side surface of the rocker outer reinforcement in the vehicle width direction. Further, each of the electric power cables is placed in a space portion formed between the rocker outer reinforcement and a center body pillar serving as an energy absorbing member absorbing energy in the event of a side collision of the vehicle.
