1. An electrified vehicle charging system, comprising:
a traction battery pack; and
a multi-voltage charging circuit configured to provide power to the traction battery pack at a first voltage level during a first charging condition and further configured to provide power to the traction battery pack at a second, different voltage level during a second charging condition,
wherein the first charging condition is a first DC fast charging event in which a first charger coupler is plugged into an inlet port of a charge port assembly, and the second charging condition is a second DC fast charging event in which a second charger coupler is plugged into the inlet port.
