Various methods and systems are provided for a multi-speed electric axle assembly. The multi-speed electric axle assembly includes a grounding plate with an outer interface coupled to a housing interface and an inner stepped splined interface designed to selectively mate with a clutch sleeve. In the assembly, the inner stepped splined interface includes a plurality of steps that each include a first side that perpendicularly intersects a second side and the first side of each step in the inner stepped splined interface includes a clearance between the first side and a stepped surface of the clutch sleeve.
