1. A vehicle power system comprising:
a power converter defining an input configured to receive power from a charger and an output configured to provide power to a traction battery, and including a plurality of switches, a transformer electrically connected between some and other of the switches, and a plurality of series connected capacitors electrically connected between the switches and the output; and
a controller programmed to operate the switches such that a voltage at the input and across each of the capacitors is same and a voltage at the output is double the voltage at the input.
