Systems and methods for an axle shaft system of an electric vehicle are provided. A reversible axle shaft flange is optionally couplable to the axle shaft such that in a first orientation, the reversible axle shaft flange is coupled to the axle shaft and in a second reverse orientation, the reversible axle shaft flange is decoupled from the axle shaft. The reversible axle shaft flange is detachable in order to reverse an orientation and reinstall in the other orientation. The reversible axle shaft flange couples to a wheel hub via a plurality of fasteners such that torque is transferred from the axle shaft to a wheel via the reversible axle shaft flange in the first orientation. With the axle shaft in a decoupled state, rotation is not transferred from the wheel to an electric machine such that a towing operation with wheels in contact with ground is possible.
