Smooth EV Rides May Be Triggering Motion Sickness in Passengers
Original: It Turns Out That Smooth EV Ride Might Be Making Some Passengers Carsick
Some electric vehicle passengers are reporting carsickness, with the quietness and smooth acceleration of EVs singled out as possible causes. Without engine noise and vibration to cue the body, passengers may be more sensitive to the stop-start motion of braking and accelerating, especially in city traffic. Drivers, who anticipate the movement, are less affected than those in the passenger seat.
Why now: EV adoption is growing rapidly, and reports of passenger motion sickness challenge the idea that smoother rides are always better.
