Reducing the battery charging time of an electric vehicle (EV) is one of the key factors to boost the widespread adoption of EVs. The commercial, off-board high power, dc fast charging station need high initial investment and maintenance cost. On the other hand, the standard on-board type-1 and type-2 ac chargers with $3.3~kW$ to $19~kW$ need long time to charge. This paper proposes a combinatory ac and dc charging approach to increase the charging rate of EV batteries. The proposed combinatory charging approach provides a technique to charge EV battery from the on-board type-2 ac charger and drivetrain integrated dc charger. For drivetrain integrated dc charging, a dc input port $(N (+),O(-))$ is formed using the neutral of the EV motor winding $(N)$ and negative rail of the drivetrain inverter $(O)$ . Through this dc input port, power from the renewable energy source-based dc microgrids, solar rooftops and other EV battery can be accepted for charging. The EV drivetrain inverter is controlled as an integrated interleaved dc-dc converter (IDC) to receive power from dc sources with EV motor windings reutilized as filter inductors. The control scheme for regulating the voltage across common dc-link accepting power from type-2 ac charger and integrated interleaved dc charger is presented. The performance analysis of EV motor and drivetrain integrated DC charger is validated through Finiet Element methods (FEM) co-simulation using Ansys Maxwell and Simplorer. A scaled experimental prototype is developed to validate the proposed combined ac and dc charging approach.
