Abstract
A vehicle has an electric machine including two sets of galvanically isolated windings, first and second inverters each coupled with only one of the sets, and a traction battery. The vehicle also has a switching arrangement that, during charge, couples the first inverter with a port such that current from a remote source flows through one of the sets and induces a voltage in the other of the sets to charge the battery while isolating the source from the battery.
