Electronic gear changing multifunction inverter

A system comprising:

• a motor including:
• a first stator winding including first and second stator winding portions electrically connected in series;
• a second stator winding including third and fourth stator winding portions electrically connected in series;
• a third stator winding including fifth and sixth stator winding portions electrically connected in series;
• a first switch electrically connected between (a) a first node between the first and second stator winding portions and (b) a second node between the third and fourth stator winding portions;
• a second switch electrically connected between (a) the second node between the third and fourth stator winding portions and (b) a third node between the fifth and sixth stator winding portions;
• a third switch electrically connected between the second stator winding portion and a fourth node connected to the fourth stator winding portion;
• and
• a fourth switch electrically connected between the sixth stator winding portion and the fourth node;
• an inverter module including first, second, and third phases that are electrically connected to the first, second, and third stator windings, respectively;
• a battery that has a first voltage and that is electrically connected in parallel with the inverter module;
• a charger that is electrically connected to the motor and that has a second voltage that is less than the first voltage;
• and
• a motor control module configured to selectively actuate switches of the inverter module and the first, second, third, and fourth switches of the motor and thereby charge the battery with power from the charger using at least one of the first, second, and third stator windings of the motor.
