Presented are high-voltage (HV) electrical system architectures for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) charging of vehicle batteries, methods for making/using such systems, and vehicles equipped with such systems. An HV electrical system for a motor vehicle includes a main HV bus that electrically connects the vehicle's traction motor(s) to the vehicle's battery pack(s), and a charging inlet port that electrically mates with and receives direct-current (DC) power from DC fast-charging (DCFC) cables of a donor vehicle and a charging station. A DC-to-DC (DC-DC) converter is interposed between and electrically connects the charging inlet port to the main HV bus. The DC-DC converter is operable in a bypass mode, in which the DC-DC converter passes therethrough DC power received from the DCFC cable of the charging station, and a vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) mode, in which the DC-DC converter modulates DC power received from the DCFC cable of the donor vehicle.
