mechanical energy
You can power a toy car by using batteries or rechargeable battery packs. The batteries supply electrical energy to the electric motor in the toy car, which then converts the energy into motion to make the car move.
Mechanical energy is not produced in a toy car. Instead, the toy car converts potential energy (stored energy) into kinetic energy (energy of motion) as it moves. The mechanical energy in the toy car comes from the energy used to make it move, not from being produced within the toy itself.

It depends on the type of toy car. In a simple wind-up version, mechanical energy, of a spring under tension, is converted to kinetic energy and noise and a small amount of heat. In battery powered cars, chemical energy from the batteries is converted to electricity which in turn is converted to kinetic energy and waste.
Chemical Energy to Mechanical Energy
In a toy car, a battery converts chemical energy into electrical energy, which powers a motor. The motor then uses this electrical energy to produce mechanical motion that drives the toy car forward. This transformation of energy from chemical to motion occurs through the process of electromechanical conversion.
