Original Abstract Submitted
A fuel cell vehicle of the disclosure includes a cell stack including a plurality of unit cells stacked on one another, a boost converter configured to boost the output from the cell stack and to output the boosted output as main power, a supercapacitor configured to be charged with the power generated in the cell stack to generate auxiliary power, and a load terminal connected to the boost converter instead of the cell stack to receive the main power and connected to the supercapacitor to receive the auxiliary power so as to be driven.
