A rotary electric machine includes a rotor assembly, stator, stator windings, and a coolant manifold. The rotor assembly includes a rotor and a rotor shaft. The stator is spaced apart from the rotor by a stator-rotor airgap and has stator teeth defining enclosed stator slots. Distal ends of adjacent stator teeth are joined together or integrally formed such that the enclosed stator slots are not contiguous with the airgap. The stator windings constructed from hairpin or bar-type conductors extend axially through the stator within the enclosed stator slots. The coolant manifold is in fluid communication with a coolant supply and configured to seal against an axial end surface of the stator to enclose a portion of the stator windings. The manifold receives and directs coolant from the coolant supply into the enclosed stator slots through the axial end surface to cool the stator via forced convection.
