Abstract

Electrified vehicle charging systems may be equipped with multiple charging interfaces. An exemplary charging system may include a charge adapter for allowing a single charge plug/connector/coupler to be split into multiple charge plugs/connectors/couplers for simultaneously utilizing each charging interface for charging a traction battery pack of the electrified vehicle. Use of the charge adapter can reduce charging times when only a single charge plug is available at a charging station.
