Abstract
A powertrain for an electric vehicle includes a casting that houses an electric motor, an inverter, and a gearbox. The inverter, which is coupled to the electric motor, converts direct current from a battery to alternating current for the electric motor. The gearbox is connected to the electric motor. The electric motor includes a stator and a rotor with a rotor shaft that extends beyond the stator. The inverter may be situated on an opposite side of the rotor shaft from an axle to which the gearbox is coupled.
