Original Abstract Submitted
An electric vehicle includes an electrical system and performs a method of charging the electric vehicle. The electrical system includes a first battery subpack, a second battery subpack, wherein the first battery subpack, the second battery subpack, and an electrical load of the electric vehicle are connected in parallel, and a processor. The processor is configured to control a first connection between the first battery subpack and a first charge port and a second connection between the second battery subpack and a second charge port to charge each of the first battery subpack and the second battery subpack while providing power to the electrical load.
