A drive system for an electric vehicle includes an input capacitor selectably coupled to a DC power source (e.g., battery) by a contactor. A variable voltage converter couples the input capacitor to a main link capacitor, and an inverter couples the main capacitor to a machine load (e.g., motor and/or generator). During a normal or emergency shutdown, the contactor is opened. In order to quickly discharge the input capacitor when the contactor opens, A) the converter operates in a boost mode to transfer charge from the input capacitor to the main capacitor until the input capacitor discharges to less than a threshold voltage, B) the converter deactivates to prevent transferring charge from the main capacitor to the input capacitor, and C) the main capacitor can then be discharged through the inverter.
