A charging system of a vehicle includes a first conversion device of a first drive system of the vehicle, the first conversion device connected to a first electric motor. The system also includes a second conversion device of a second drive system of the vehicle, the second conversion device connected to a second electric motor. The first drive system and the second drive system are connected to a battery system of the vehicle. The system also includes a switching assembly including a plurality of switches configured to selectively connect the first electric motor and/or the second electric motor to a charge port of the vehicle, and a controller configured to control the switching assembly to define a conversion circuit that includes components of the first drive system and/or the second drive system, and control the conversion circuit to regulate an output voltage and supply power to an energy storage system.
