The invention relates to an electric vehicle transaxle suppressing occurrence of wear, seizure, etc. of a one-way clutch as compared to a conventional one. When an electric motor MG is driven and a one-way clutch 34 moves in a rotation axis C1 direction, the one-way clutch 34 comes into contact with a flange portion 46b of an inner race 46 or a supporting portion 30b of a transaxle housing 30 via a sliding washer 74 and, therefore, direct contact is prevented between the one-way clutch 34 and the flange portion 46b of the inner race 46 or the supporting portion 30b and wear, seizure, etc. of the one-way clutch 34 are suppressed.
