In one aspect, an electric vehicle comprises a plurality of battery modules, each of the battery modules having a respective coolant inlet, a coolant source, and a coolant inlet manifold configured to supply coolant from the coolant source to each of the plurality of coolant inlets in parallel. The manifold includes a coolant supply conduit, a plurality of branch conduits branching from the coolant supply conduit, and a plurality of flow restrictors. Each of the branch conduits is fluidically coupled to the coolant inlet of an associated respective one of the battery modules. Each of the flow restrictors restricts coolant flow to a respective subset of the branch conduits. In another aspect, the manifold includes a primary conduit, a plurality of secondary conduits branching from the primary conduit, and for each of the secondary conduits, a plurality of tertialy conduits branching from the secondary conduit.
