A direct current (DC) fast charger for charging batteries of electric vehicles (EVs), includes a primary circuit, including seven bidirectional switches, electrically linked to a primary wire of a transformer and configured to receive alternating current (AC) power from a power grid; a secondary circuit electrically linked to a secondary wire of the transformer for converting AC power into DC power; and a control system, electrically linked to the primary circuit and the secondary circuit, that changes the frequency of the AC power received from the power grid in five switching states.
