Best Answer

As of 2018, most cars run on fossil fuels such as gasoline or diesel; there is an increasing tendency for cars to run on stored electrical energy (batteries), but those cars are still in the minority.

How do solar cars refuel?

Solar cars refuel just by regaining energy from the sun. They use all of that energy to create fuel in order to run. Some solar cars refuel by using wind energy! Solar cars gain energy from the sun or from the wind to store the energy in their fuel tanks and they use up the energy to make fuel that allows them to travel for long distances! Solar cars have no limits on how many times they can regain energy from the sun or from the wind!
