A vehicle electric machine includes a stator having an end face and a yoke region defining a channel. End windings are adjacent to the end face. An annular cover has inner and outer walls defining an annular cavity configured to receive the end windings. The channel opens into the cavity, and a radial distance between the inner and outer walls is less than or equal to a radial length of the end face.
