Abstract: An electrified vehicle may include a plurality of electric drive units, a plurality of battery packs, a plurality of charge ports and a plurality of controllable switches. The switches may be controlled to flexibly configure power transfer into and out of the vehicle through one or more charge ports affecting one or more battery packs in parallel or individually passively or actively through inverter integrated converter charge transfer.

Abstract: A multi-function onboard charging module (OBCM) operable for charging a battery pack using a wide variety of offboard charging systems, such as to enable the OBCM to charge a battery pack using electrical power provided from different types of direct current (DC), single-phase alternating current (AC), and/or three-phase AC offboard charging systems.

Abstract: A system for control of an electric powertrain is provided. The powertrain includes a battery configured for providing electrical energy at a first relatively higher voltage in direct current. The powertrain further includes a power inverter including a first phase circuit, a second phase circuit including first and second switches, and a third phase circuit including third and fourth switches. The powertrain further includes a motor configured for receiving alternating current electrical energy from the power inverter. The system further includes a computerized controller operating a charging cycle. The charging cycle includes deactivating the first phase circuit of the power inverter and selectively cyclically activating the first switch, the second switch, the third switch, and the fourth switch to direct electrical energy provided at a second relatively lower voltage in direct current through the motor to provide a flow of electrical energy at the first voltage to the battery.
