    Abstract: A vehicle includes a system for charging a battery of the vehicle. An electric motor couples to a charging station. a diode-clamped multi-level inverter and a processor. A diode-clamped multi-level inverter couples the electric motor to the battery and includes a first leg having a first set of switches and a first AC terminal coupled to the electric motor, a second leg having a second set of switches and a second AC terminal coupled to the electric motor and a third leg having a third set of switches and a third AC terminal coupled to the electric motor. The processor connects the third AC terminal to the charging station and control at least one of the first set of switches to control a first current through the first AC terminal and the second set of switches to control a second current through the second AC terminal to charge the battery.

    Abstract: A motor vehicle includes a multiphase AC electric motor having a stator wound with a first stator winding set including three phases and a second stator winding set including three phases, the three phases of the first stator winding set and the three phases of the second stator winding set wound oppositely to one another in the stator. Additionally, the motor vehicle includes a source of stored electrical energy and an inverter coupled to the source of stored electrical energy and to the electric motor to provide switched electrical energy to the first stator winding set and the second stator winding set. In addition, the motor vehicle includes a driver configured to simultaneously switch a relatively high side of the inverter to a first phase of the first stator winding set and a relatively low side of the inverter to a corresponding first phase of the second stator winding set.
