The paper proposes two novel topologies for integrated battery charging of electric vehicles. The integration is functional and manifests through re-utilization of existing propulsion drivetrain components, primarily a six-phase inverter and a six-phase machine, to serve as components of a fast (three-phase) charging system. An important feature of the proposed charging systems is that they are with direct grid connection, thus nonisolated from the mains. Torque is not produced in machines during the charging process. The paper provides a comprehensive evaluation of the novel systems, together with an existing topology. Various aspects of the considered chargers are detailed and elaborated, including current balancing, interleaving modulation strategy, and influence of rotor field pulsation on control and overall performance. A control strategy is proposed and the theory and control scheme are verified by experiments. Index Terms-Battery chargers, electric vehicles, integrated onboard chargers, multiphase machines. I. INTRODUCTION V ARIOUS concepts for battery charging of EVs have been proposed over the years, including fast dc (off-board) charging (Fig. 1(a)), battery swapping, inductive (wireless) charging, conventional on-board (Fig. 1(b)) and integrated onboard charging (Fig. 1(c)) [1]. The latter is a process in which already existing power electronic components, which exist onboard an EV and that are mandatory for vehicle propulsion, are re-utilized for charging. As fewer new elements are required for the charging process, the vehicle cost, weight and required space are significantly reduced. These advantages have in the last five years put integrated chargers under extensive research focus of both academic community and industry [2]. There are two main types of integrated chargers: those that take supply from a single-phase voltage source (slow) [3] and those that are attached to three-phase mains (fast) [4]. A distinct advantage of the three-phase over the single-phase integrated chargers is a much faster charging process. On the other hand, if a three-phase machine is integrated into three-phase charging process, three-phase currents flow through its windings,
