A vehicle includes a system for charging a battery of the vehicle. An electric motor couples to a charging station. a diode-clamped multi-level inverter and a processor. A diode-clamped multi-level inverter couples the electric motor to the battery and includes a first leg having a first set of switches and a first AC terminal coupled to the electric motor, a second leg having a second set of switches and a second AC terminal coupled to the electric motor and a third leg having a third set of switches and a third AC terminal coupled to the electric motor. The processor connects the third AC terminal to the charging station and control at least one of the first set of switches to control a first current through the first AC terminal and the second set of switches to control a second current through the second AC terminal to charge the battery.
