ELECTRIC DRIVE UNIT FOR A VEHICLE

A vehicle includes an electric drive unit. The electric drive unit includes a transmission that includes a differential that is operably coupled with half shafts of the vehicle, an electric motor that is configured to drive rotation of a rotor shaft that is operably coupled with the transmission such that rotation of the rotor shaft drives rotation of the half shafts via the transmission, a housing that houses the electric motor, a contact feature coupled to the rotor shaft proximate an axial end of the rotor shaft, and a spring that extends from the housing to abut a portion of the contact feature that is radially aligned with an axis about which the rotor shaft rotates to ground the rotor shaft to the housing.
