A battery charger for an electric vehicle supplies DC output power to an output bus for supplying power to a battery. The battery charger includes an AC/DC converter using switches to convert AC power from an AC source to a DC link voltage upon a DC link bus. A DC link capacitor allows a ripple in the DC link voltage that is greater than in conventional charger designs. A DC/DC stage includes a DC/AC converter including one or more switches to selectively conduct current from the DC link bus to supply an AC power to a transformer. The switches of the DC/AC converter are mounted to an insulated metal substrate that is in thermal contact with a transformer housing for dissipating heat therefrom. A controller controls one or more switches of the DC/AC converter and varies a switching frequency responsive to the ripple of the DC link voltage.
