Rovers on space missions have used solar energy to generate power and store it in their batteries to be used during the night. On the Moon, though, a single night is the equivalent of 14 days on Earth, and battery-based energy storage is challenging, if not impossible.include a vehicle that can carry two humans for extended periods, such as a month, for stable and long-term exploration of the Moon.
The energy stored in the fuel cells will then be converted into electricity and used to power the rover. At first, the water to be used will be sent from Earth. However, in the future, Toyota has not ruled out using water ice from the lunar poles to power its rover.
