Not sure of your exact reference, but car possesses potential energy as it sits. Gas or battery (chemical or electrical energy) transform to kinetic energy as it goes. Since energy is neither created nor destroyed, various things are at work like heat energy that dissipate the energy of motion.

How is energy lost in a toy car?
Friction and wind resistance.
A car has 40000000J of energy available in its tank and assuming a constant force of 1000N is available to move the car and neglecting the energy lost as heat. How far the car will travel?
40KM.
Is burning petrol in a car engine exothermic?
Yes, energy is lost to the environment
A car's motor does 2500 kJ of work in moving the car however the car only has 18 kJ of kinetic energy. Explain how this can happen?
The remaining energy got lost to friction.
How does a hybrid conserve energy?
In a hyrid car, when you brake the energy that is used is transferred back into electricity instead of totally lost as heat energy.
How is heat related to the motion of a bicycle or a car?
When you drive your car or ride your bike, energy is converted and some of the energy is lost as heat. That is why cars have radiator to prevent overheating.
Why is a typical car engine only 30 percent efficient?
Most of the energy is lost as heat.
Is energy lost when energy changes?
Energy is never lost or destroyed.
How does a car engine convert petrol to power?
The petrol is burned in the engine where part of the energy released (roughly one-fourth) is used in moving the car, while the rest is lost as heat and sound energy.
What type of energy is lost energy on energy?
energy can not be lost it can only be transported into other things
When was Lost Energy created?
Lost Energy was created in 2008.
Do batteries waste energy when not being used?
Yes, they will gradually discharge over time. If it is a rechargeable battery - such as a car battery - it can be recharged again, but the energy that was stored in it is lost.
