Assignee: GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY
Field: Transport (Mechanical engineering)
Classification: CPC B  H  Y | IPC B  H

Claim 0:
1. An electric vehicle comprising:
a first energy storage device;
a DC connection coupleable to an external DC charging source for providing an external DC charging signal for charging the first energy storage device;
an AC connection coupleable to an external AC charging source for providing an external AC charging signal for charging the first energy storage device;
a traction motor;
a voltage converter coupled to the traction motor and configured to provide a voltage for the traction motor in a driving mode of the electric vehicle and to selectively boost the external DC charging signal to provide a first boosted charging signal for the first energy storage device when the DC connection is coupled to the external DC charging source; and
another voltage converter configured to provide a second boosted charging signal from the external AC charging signal for the first energy storage device when the AC connection is coupled to the external AC charging source.
