To provide a compact electric vehicle capable of ensuring drivability and storage in a front basket.

A lid member 20 that covers the vehicle backward side of an upper opening 22 of a front basket 9 is disposed between the upper opening 22 and an under surface of a steering wheel unit 5. A front end of the lid member 20 is located vehicle forward beyond a rotational trajectory of the steering wheel unit 5. When seen from above the vehicle, the front ends of both edges in a vehicle width direction of the lid member 20 are located vehicle forward beyond the front end of the center in the vehicle width direction thereof. An elongated body 21 put in the front basket 9 is stabilized with a dent in the center in the vehicle width direction of the front end of the lid member 20, but is not jutted out of the edges in the vehicle width direction of the front basket 9. When seen from ahead of the vehicle, the lid member 20 is curved in a convex manner so that the center in the vehicle width direction thereof will be located upward in the vehicle beyond the edges in the vehicle width direction. When seen from obliquely upward ahead of the vehicle, the upper opening 22 of the front basket 9 is so large that a baggage can be readily put in or taken out.
