Best Answer

The lunar rovers used electrical energy. The fuel cells that supplied energy to the command and service modules needed to be started on earth. There is no way to restart a fuel cell once in space. So, the lunar lander, the LEM, and the lunar rovers all had to use stored electrical energy.
