Abstract
A vehicle includes an electric machine with two sets of galvanically isolated windings, and a controller. During charge, the controller isolates a first inverter from a first set of the two sets and couples a power converter electrically between a traction battery and second inverter such that charge current flows through the first set and induces a voltage in a second set of the two sets to charge the battery.
