A method of power source control for the electrified vehicle includes: learning travel data in consideration of whether or not a swap battery is mounted in a vehicle in which a main battery is mounted at all times; determining a travel distance according to a currently mounted battery based on the travel data and a current driving point of the vehicle; and outputting information on swap or detachment of the swap battery based on the determined travel distance when the swap battery is mounted.

Electrified vehicle and method of power source control for the same

Disclosed is a method for power management of an electrified vehicle. In particular, the electrified vehicle comprises a power electric unit having a motor and an inverter and a main battery and a swappable battery electrically connected to the power electric unit. The method includes: determining a driver demand power when the power electric unit is generated; and satisfying the driver demand power first with the output of the swappable battery when the power electric unit outputs the driving force, and charging the main battery first in response to the driver demand power when the power electric unit is generated, based on the upper limit of charging and discharging of the main battery and the swappable battery.

Electrified vehicle and power management method therefor

A spindle bracket of a torsion beam axle suspension system is defined on an end portion of a trailing arm to be connected to a hub assembly on which a wheel and a tire are mounted. The spindle bracket may include a first inner bracket that is welded to an inner side and an outer side of an end portion of a upper member of the trailing arm, a second inner bracket that is welded to an inner side and an outer side of an end portion of a lower member of the trailing arm, and an outer bracket that is attached to the first and second inner brackets to be engaged with the hub assembly in company with the first and second inner brackets.
