Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to electric vehicles and electric powertrains for such electric vehicles. The electric powertrain in configured to include an electric motor and disconnectable differential assembly arranged for transmitting the motive power generated by the electric motor to a pair of ground-engaging wheels. The disconnectable differential assembly includes a power transfer mechanism driven by the electric motor, a differential mechanism interconnected to the pair of ground-engaging wheels, and a power-operated disconnect mechanism for selectively coupling and uncoupling the power transfer mechanism and the differential mechanism.
