EV makes people more prone to car sickness?

If you’ve ever felt a little nauseous in an electric car, you’re not alone! And that's true! - EVs are actually making some people sick—even those who never had motion sickness in gas-powered cars. Experts say our bodies are used to the sounds, vibrations, and gradual acceleration of combustion engines. EVs flip that on its head. They’re nearly silent, deliver instant torque from a stop, and often use one-pedal driving with regenerative braking. Without the usual engine noise or the familiar jolt of pressing the brake, your brain may struggle to anticipate movement, causing nausea. Passengers often feel it more, but even drivers can get queasy, especially with uneven throttle or braking inputs. Some researchers suggest adding “auditory motion cues” (think fake engine sounds) to help—though not everyone wants that feature.
