Abstract

A charging assembly, an electric vehicle including the charging assembly and a method for charging an electric vehicle battery are provided. In a method for charging the battery that has a rated voltage that is greater than the charging voltage of a charging station, first and second battery units of the battery are configured in a series configuration. The method then supplies the charging voltage to the battery while the first and second battery units are in the series configuration to charge the battery. The method thereafter discontinues supply of the charging voltage to the battery prior to charging the battery to the rated voltage. After discontinuing the supply of the charging voltage to the battery, the method configures at least the first and second battery units in a parallel configuration and then supplies the charging voltage of the charging station to the battery to further charge the battery.
