An object of the present invention is to achieve improvements in the rotational accuracy of the input shaft and the durability of the bearings, and suppression of rotational noise, by improving the support structure of the input shaft of the speed reduction unit. Provided is a drive device for an electric vehicle, including: an electric motor; a speed reduction unit 12 including an input shaft 13 driven by output of the electric motor 11; and a hub unit 15 rotationally driven by an output member 14 of the speed reduction unit 12, wherein the input shaft 13 of the speed reduction unit 12 is supported by bearings 58 and 59 provided at two locations in an axial direction, the drive device for an electric vehicle being configured such that the bearings 58 and 59 at the two locations are attached together to the output member 14. |
