A protective guard member is provided in order to protect a high-voltage
wire connected to a control unit in an electric vehicle, in which the
control unit, for controlling a drive motor of the vehicle, is mounted to
a rear swing arm thereof. The high-voltage wire protecting guard member
may be provided as a guard arm of a main vehicle support stand, arranged
to shield the external side of the high-voltage wire, when the support
stand is in a stored position thereof. The guard arm may be configured to
protectively shield a water supply pipe and a water discharge pipe for a
cooling plate associated with the control unit, as well as protecting the
high-voltage wire, when the support stand is in the stored position
thereof.
