A reservoir configured for use in at least one of a drive motor cooling system or a battery heating system of a battery powered electric vehicle, the reservoir comprising:

• a first section;
• and
• a second section that is joined to the first section at a reservoir interface thereby forming a reservoir that is configured to facilitate at least one of storage or flow of a liquid medium within the at least one of the drive motor cooling system or the battery heating system of the battery powered electric vehicle, wherein the first section includes an integrated channel that provides a pathway for the flow of the liquid medium within the reservoir;
• a component interface configured to facilitate connection of a component thereto, wherein the integrated channel provides the pathway for the flow of the liquid medium to or from the component interface;
• and
