Why passengers feel more car sick in electric vehicles
Original: Passengers are reporting increased car sickness in electric cars - here's why
Passengers are reporting increased motion sickness when riding in electric cars compared with petrol or diesel vehicles. The pattern is attributed to the way EVs accelerate and brake: instant torque and strong regenerative braking create abrupt changes in speed, while the quiet cabin and one-pedal driving style can make motion cues harder for the body to anticipate. Drivers tend to be less affected than passengers, who cannot predict the car's movements.
Why now: Growing EV adoption means more passengers are experiencing the effect and sharing complaints, prompting explainer coverage.
