Best Answer

One of the largest benefits of alternative energy cars is the reduced maintenance costs associated with moving away from traditional fossil fuel powered vehicles. Gasoline, by its very nature, is a dirty and heat intense power source; this results in great deals of friction and wear on engine parts. Alternative fuel sources are less wear intensive, resulting in fewer repair and maintenance costs.

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!

What is a benefit for using alternative resources?

An alternative resource, just as the term implies is a source of something which is different from the most common source.

These would be alternative resources. These will help people in the future!
