Abstract: A comparative assessment of the applications of ultralight technology to electric vehicles (EV) under development since 1990 has been made. The general nature of the mathematical model permitted EVs of all types, including bicycles and magnetic levitation vehicles, to be evaluated and compared for acceleration levels, elapsed time, and elapsed distance performance in a standardized framework, with acceptable accuracy in comparison to the performance results published in the public domain. The aerodynamic coefficients and the skin friction component of the total aerodynamic drag coefficient could be estimated.
