Charging device and charging system for an electric vehicle

A charging device configured to be mounted in an electric vehicle for charging a traction battery of the electric vehicle, the charging device comprising:

• a wireless power transfer (WPT) unit including:
• a WPT input configured to receive electric power inductively received via a WPT receiving coil from a WPT transmitting coil;
• and
• a WPT output configured to provide a first high-frequency AC power;
• an on-board charging (OBC) unit including:
• an OBC input connectable to a power supply connector for supplying electric power from an electric power supply system;
• a power conversion circuitry configured to convert the supplied electric power to a second high-frequency AC power;
• and
• an OBC output configured to provide the second high-frequency AC power;
• a rectifier configured to convert the first high-frequency AC power provided via the WPT unit and/or the second high-frequency AC power provided via the OBC unit into DC power;
• an output unit via which the rectifier is connectable to the traction battery of the electric vehicle to provide the DC power to the traction battery;
• and
• a switching unit arranged between the WPT output, the OBC output, and the rectifier;
• wherein the switching unit includes a plurality of switches that are controllable to connect the first high-frequency AC power provided by the WPT unit and/or the second high-frequency AC power provided by the OBC unit to the rectifier.
