1. A drive system for a vehicle, comprising:
a first planetary device;
a second planetary device directly coupled to the first planetary device;
a first electromagnetic device at least selectively coupled to the first planetary device, wherein the first electromagnetic device includes a first shaft;
a second electromagnetic device coupled to the second planetary device, wherein the second electromagnetic device includes a second shaft, wherein the first shaft and the second shaft are radially aligned with the first planetary device and the second planetary device;
an output shaft coupled to the first planetary device, wherein the output shaft is radially aligned with the first planetary device and the second planetary device;
a connecting shaft directly coupled to the first planetary device; and
a clutch positioned to selectively rotationally couple the second shaft to the connecting shaft, wherein the second electromagnetic device is rotationally engaged with the first planetary device when the clutch is engaged.
