An electric motor includes a case, a stator that includes end-windings, a rotor coupled to the case via at least one rotor bearing, at least one drive motor fluid pump, and drive motor electronics. The rotor includes a hollow cylindrical body, a first shaft portion, and a second shaft portion, a fluid feed tube having a fluid receive end and a fluid feed end, the fluid feed end extending into the hollow cylindrical body, and a plurality of fluid exit ports. The drive motor electronics power the stator with or without causing rotation of the rotor. The drive motor fluid pump pumps fluid into the hollow cylindrical body via the fluid feed tube, pumps the fluid out of the plurality of fluid ports, and onto the stator end-windings to collect heat from the rotor and the stator. The heated fluid may be used for heating a battery. 1. An electric motor comprising:a case;a stator that includes a stator lamination and end-windings; and a hollow cylindrical body having an inner wall, an outer wall, a first distal end, and a second distal end;', 'a first shaft portion coupled to the first distal end of the hollow cylindrical body;', 'a second shaft portion coupled to the second distal end of the hollow cylindrical body;', 'a fluid feed tube having a fluid receive end and a fluid feed end, the fluid feed end extending into the hollow cylindrical body; and', 'a plurality of fluid exit ports;, 'a rotor coupled to the case via at least one rotor bearing, the rotor comprisingat least one drive motor fluid pump to pump fluid into the fluid receive end of the fluid feed tube; and the drive motor electronics power the stator with or without causing rotation of the rotor;', 'the drive motor fluid pump at least partially fills the hollow cylindrical body with the fluid to force the fluid from the hollow cylindrical body to collect heat from the stator end-windings; and', 'the drive motor fluid pump circulates the fluid to a heat exchanger for heating a battery., 'drive motor electronics, ...
