Redundant electrical power system for vehicle

An electrical power system for a vehicle having a traction motor and a plurality of electrical grids, comprising:

• a rechargeable energy storage system (RESS) having a high voltage (HV) interface configured for exchanging HV power with the traction motor and a low voltage (LV) interface configured for exchanging LV power with the electrical grids, wherein the electrical grids each include a LV bus configured for distributing the LV power to one or more loads;
• and
• a redundant distribution system having a plurality of busbars arranged in a redundant configuration characterized by each of the LV buses being independently connectable to the LV interface via two or more of the busbars such that each of the electrical grids remains operable and connected to the LV interface during a disconnect event whereby one of the busbars experiences an open circuit condition.
