Integrated electric power take-off for use with an electric vehicle

A method of manufacturing an integrated electric power take-off comprising the steps of:

• (a) providing an electric motor portion that is adapted to be operated by an electric motor of an electric vehicle;
• (b) providing an output portion that is adapted to operate a rotatably driven accessory provided on the electric vehicle;
• (c) providing a geartrain portion having a optimal gear ratio that is optimized for use in a given application for the integrated electric power take-off;
• and
• (d) connecting the geartrain portion between the electric motor and the output portion, wherein when the electric motor portion is operated by the electric motor of the electric vehicle, the geartrain portion operates the output portion to operate the rotatably driven accessory provided on the electric vehicle.
