Charging apparatus and electric vehicle including the same

A charging apparatus and an electric vehicle including the same are disclosed. The charging apparatus includes a converter for converting an input alternating current (AC) voltage into a direct current (DC) voltage in a charging mode and a controller for controlling the converter. The converter includes a motor, a switching unit connected to an additional coil wound on a stator of any one phase of the motor, for supplying the input AC voltage to the motor by a switching operation, and an inverter for converting a DC voltage from a battery into an AC voltage by a switching operation of three-phase switching elements and driving the motor in a motor operation mode, and converting the input AC voltage into the DC voltage using the additional coil of the motor and the switching unit and supplying the DC voltage to the battery in the charging mode. Accordingly, it is possible to easily perform charging using an AC voltage.
