Electric Motor Mount

A mounting assembly configured to couple an electric motor to a frame of a vehicle, comprising:

• an inner tube defining an axis;
• a damping element couped to the inner tube and extending along the axis;
• and
• an outer shell that houses each of the inner tube and the damping element,
• wherein the damping element is formed of a micro-cellular urethane material;
• the inner tube includes a first tapered surface, a second tapered surface, a third tapered surface, and a fourth tapered surface;
• the damping element includes a first projection that extends axially along the axis and radially outward from the first tapered surface toward the outer shell, a second projection that extends axially along the axis and radially outward from the second tapered surface toward the outer shell, a third projection that extends axially along the axis and radially outward from the third tapered surface toward the outer shell, and a fourth projection that extends axially along the axis and radially outward from the fourth tapered surface toward the outer shell;
• and
• the outer shell compresses each of the first, second, third, and fourth axially extending projections in a direction back toward a respective tapered surface.
