The performance of this new generation of powertrains will reflect significant advances in battery, electric motor and gasoline engine technologies. The next Prius will also feature electric motors that will be smaller in size. The challenge of the hybrid race car has been the added weight of the battery and electric motor, he noted.

Neutrons do not possess any electric charge; they are stable inside the nucleus, and outside of it, they decay with a lifetime of about 15 minutes (886 seconds)—a long time for a fundamental particle. Initial experiments with GM, for example, examined battery cells for electric vehicles after hundreds of charge/discharge cycles.
