A voltage converting circuit for electric vehicles that is capable of stably performing precharge control from a high voltage battery to an inverter. The voltage converting circuit includes a high voltage battery for supplying electric power to a vehicle drive motor; and an inverter, which is interposed between the high voltage battery and the vehicle drive motor and has a capacitor, for converting a direct current, supplied from the high voltage battery, to an alternating current and supplying to the vehicle drive motor. The voltage converting circuit further includes a voltage converter, connected to the high voltage battery in parallel with the inverter, for converting a voltage of the high voltage battery to a low voltage and outputting the low voltage; a contactor circuit, interposed between the high voltage battery and the inverter, for performing a process of suppressing rush current relative to the inverter when supplying electric power of the high voltage battery to the vehicle drive motor; and voltage a converter start-up enabling units and for enabling start-up of the voltage converter when a conclusion of the suppression process performed by the contactor circuit is sensed.
