A clutch system selectably connects a vehicle rear axle to a motor. The clutch system includes an intermediate shaft to fixably attach to a side gear of a differential for rotation therewith. A case of the differential is connected to the motor via a gear train. Another side gear of the differential is affixed to an output shaft, and the output shaft extends through a center of rotation of an armature of the motor to connect to a road wheel of a vehicle. A clutch is to selectably connect the intermediate shaft to another output shaft connected to another road wheel of the vehicle. An actuator is to actuate the clutch to an engaged state and thereby selectably connect the intermediate shaft to the other output shaft. The output shaft, the other output shaft, and the motor rotate independently when the clutch is not in the engaged state.
