Each slot has a plurality of pin positions that is arranged in a direction that extends from the inner diameter of the stator core toward the outer diameter of the stator core. The hairpin windings have a plurality of electrical paths of interconnected hairpins disposed within the slots. Each of the plurality of electrical paths of interconnected hairpins have a plurality of typical hairpins and a plurality of atypical hairpins. Each typical hairpin has first and second opposing inwardly extending twist portions. Each atypical hairpin has a third inwardly extending twist portion and an outwardly extending twist portion disposed on an opposing end of the atypical hairpin relative to the third inwardly extending twist portion.
