An electrical system for a vehicle can include a power supply and one or more electric motors comprising one or more electric motor controllers operatively connected to the power supply to selectively receive electrical energy from the power supply to provide electrical energy to one or more electric motors. The one or more electric motor controller can have one or more switches and operatively connected between the power supply and the one or more electric motors. The electric motor controller can be configured to modify the electrical path between the power supply and the electric motor using the one or more switches to cause at least one of a shunt to the power supply or a shunt to the electrical motor drives in an overvoltage state. The system can also include an electrical load operatively connected to the power supply. The electrical motor controller can be configured to provide overvoltage protection to the electrical load in the overvoltage state without secondary overvoltage protection circuitry between the power supply and the electrical load.
