SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CHARGING AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE FROM MULTIPLE SOURCES

A multi-source charging system for an electric vehicle. The multi-source charging system may include an electric prime mover configured to drive a wheel of the electric vehicle, a battery electrically connected to the electric prime mover and configured to receive DC electrical power for charging the battery, an on-board charger electrically connected to the battery and configured to supply first DC electrical power for charging the battery, a range extender electrically connected to the battery and configured to supply second DC electrical power to charge the battery, and a controller. The controller may be configured to determine a power allocation for charging the battery and operate the on-board charger and the range extender, based on the determined power allocation, to cause the on-board charger and the range extender to simultaneously provide power to charge the battery when the electric prime mover is not driving the wheel.
