1. A method of cooling electrical components of a vehicle, the method comprising:
directing coolant through a capacitor housing along a first coolant channel on a first surface of the capacitor housing into a power module containing one or more inverters, wherein the power module is disposed outside of the capacitor housing,
directing coolant through two or more parallel coolant channels within the power module; and
directing coolant from the power module into a second coolant channel on the first surface of the capacitor housing, wherein the two or more parallel coolant channels are parallel with the first coolant channel and the second coolant channel of the capacitor housing.
