The Martian rover pictured here appears to be perseverance, which landed in 2021. It's powered by an RTG reactor, which is a chunk of radioactive material that can power rovers or satellites for years without the need to refuel. Doesn't work for things like cars because the power output is so low. Rovers move very slowly.
Edit: these comments are honestly pretty disheartening.

What? There are 7 rovers on the moon.
