A vehicle has an internal combustion engine, a motor configured to propel the vehicle, and a supercharger. A mechanical connection is configured to transfer torque from at least one of the engine and machine to the supercharger. The supercharger is a single torque load on the mechanical connection. The vehicle further has a first clutch between the motor and engine and a second clutch between the motor and supercharger.
