Abstract
A vehicle electric machine includes a housing and a stator having windings and a stator core. The core defines a plurality of axially extending cooling channels each having an entrance port at one end of the stator and an exit port at the other end of the stator. An end cover is connected to a first end of the housing defining a recessed cavity configured to receive the windings and defines an arcuate inlet manifold channel that extends in a circumferential direction of the stator to partially circumscribe the first cavity and that is in fluid communication with first ones of the axial cooling channels.
