  • Publication number: 20250192645
    Abstract: An electric drive system includes a housing, which is internally provided with an electric motor, a controller and a transmission, wherein the electric motor includes a stator and a rotor. A first electrical connector, which is arranged in the housing and is located at an outlet terminal of the stator, is connected electrically to the controller, and a second electrical connector, which is arranged in the housing and is located at the outlet terminal of the stator is connected electrically to the stator. A cooling system includes a cooling channel arranged on the housing and a coolant distribution assembly connected to the cooling channel and having at least one first hole provided thereon. The first hole permits coolant flow through first hole toward the first electrical connector. At least one second hole permits coolant flow through the at least one second hole toward the second electrical connector.
