An electric motor includes a rotor mounted rotatably about an axis of rotation in a bearing accommodated in an end shield, and a stator including wound coils such that windings are defined by at least one winding wire with winding wire ends electrically connected to busbars of a busbar unit. The busbar unit is on an upper side of the stator and the end shield is seated on an upper side of the busbar unit. A magnetic shield is integrated into the end shield.

An electric motor includes a rotation shaft formed in a hollow shape, a rotor attached to the rotation shaft, a stator provided on an outer periphery side of the rotor, and a case having the rotor and the stator housed therein. The electric motor 1 is capable of cooling by a cooling-fluid flowing in a cooling-fluid flow passage which includes an inner flow passage formed inside the rotation shaft, an outer flow passage formed between an outer periphery of the stator and an inner periphery of the case, and a first communication flow passage isolated from a housing space of the case in which the rotor is housed. The first communication flow passage provides communication between the inner flow passage and the outer flow passage.

A stator includes a yoke extending in a circumferential direction about an axis line, a tooth extending from the yoke in a first direction toward the axis line, and a coil wound around and fixed to the tooth. The yoke has an inner wall surface facing the axis line. The tooth has a root part connected to the yoke. The inner wall surface of the yoke is a flat surface extending from an end of the root part of the tooth in the circumferential direction to an inner circumferential side relative to a plane passing through the end and perpendicular to the first direction.
