An electric vehicle includes: a battery configured to be charged with a first voltage; and a converter configured to boost, when power of a second voltage that is lower than the first voltage is received, the power of the second voltage to the first voltage, and to transfer the first voltage to the battery, so that the battery is charged with power of the first voltage, wherein when the power of the first voltage is received, the power of the first voltage is transferred to the battery to charge the battery.
