1. An electric machine comprising: a rotor rotatable about an axis and operably coupled with a stator wherein the stator defines opposing first and second axial ends and a plurality of axially extending stator slots;at least one winding defining at least one phase, the at least one winding including a first winding of a first phase wherein the first winding comprises: a conductor extending from a first end to a second end wherein, between the first and second ends, the winding defines a plurality of slot segments and a plurality of end loops, each of the slot segments being disposed within one of the stator slots and each of the end loops connecting a pair of the slot segments disposed in different stator slots; andwherein each of the stator slots define a plurality of layer positions, each of the layer positions being at a different radial distance from the axis whereby slot segments are positionable in the plurality of layer positions of each stator slot;wherein at least 60 percent of the end loops defined by the first winding connect a slot segment disposed in one of the plurality of layer positions with another slot segment disposed in another one of the plurality of layer positions; andwherein, for the first winding, the electric machine defines an odd number of select stator slots wherein, at each of the select stator slots, first and second slot segments disposed in the select stator slot are located in different layer positions, the first and second slot segments being respectively connected to first and second end loops wherein the first end loop connects the first slot segment with a third slot segment disposed in the same layer position as the first slot segment and the second end loop connects the second slot segment with a fourth slot segment disposed in the same layer position as the second slot segment.
