Claim 10:
11. A vehicle electric machine comprising:
a housing having a closed end, an open end, and a cavity, wherein the closed end has an inside surface facing the cavity;
a gasket disposed on the inside surface of the closed end and defining first cooling passages extending circumferentially;
a stator core including an inner diameter defining a plurality of slots, an outer diameter, and a plurality of mounting ears each disposed radially outboard of the outer diameter and each defining at least one second cooling passage extending axially, wherein the stator core is received within the cavity with the second cooling passages in fluid communication with corresponding ones of the first cooling passages, wherein the gasket forms a seal between the stator core and the inside surface;
windings disposed in the slots; and
an end cover defining third cooling passages extending circumferentially and connected to the open end such that the second cooling passages are in fluid communication with corresponding ones of the third cooling passages.
