A charging apparatus and an electric vehicle including the same are disclosed. The charging apparatus includes a rectifier to rectify input alternating current (AC) power in a charging mode, an interleaved buck-boost converter to convert the rectified power into direct current (DC) power to supply the converted DC power to a battery, the interleaved buck-boost converter including a plurality of buck-boost converters, and a converter controller to control the interleaved buck-boost converter, wherein a first buck-boost converter of the interleaved buck-boost converter includes a first buck switching element connected to the rectifier, a first boost switching element, an inductor connected between the first buck switching element and the first boost switching element, a first diode connected in parallel between the first buck switching element and the inductor, and a second diode connected between the first boost switching element and an output of the interleaved buck-boost converter.
