Electric Vehicle and Method of Controlling Rapid Charging of Electric Vehicle

An electric vehicle includes a battery, a motor, an inverter, a mode change switch, and a control module. The control mode includes one or more processors, and a storage medium storing a computer-readable instruction. When the computer-readable instruction is executed by one or more processors, the one or more processors are configured to determine a rapid charging mode according to a connected charging facility, the rapid charging mode including a first rapid charging mode when the charging facility is a DC distribution network facility and a second rapid charging mode when the charging facility is a rapid charging facility, and to control, based on a result of the determination, the mode change switch to change from the first rapid charging mode to the second rapid charging mode or from the second rapid charging mode to the first rapid charging mode.
