A vehicle includes an electrical device (10, 2) in which a high-voltage part (11, 2b) is disposed within a case (10a, 2a), and a fuel tank (5, 93). The high-voltage part (11, 2b) is disposed near a first side end of the case (10a, 2a) in a vehicle width direction. The fuel tank (5, 93) has a first end portion (5a, 93b) in the vehicle width direction and a second end portion (5b, 93a) opposite to the first end portion (5a, 93b). When a collision load equal to or greater than a predetermined value is applied to the fuel tank from the outside in a vehicle front-rear direction, the fuel tank (5, 93) is configured to horizontally rotated about the first end portion (5a, 93b) of the fuel tank (5, 93), and the second end portion (5b, 93a) of the fuel tank (5, 93) is configured to contact the second side end of the electrical device (10, 2).
