Is Your EV Making You Carsick? Here's Why Science Says Maybe'
Briefly

The lack of noise combined with strong acceleration in electric vehicles (EVs) can exacerbate car sickness symptoms. Research shows a direct link between regenerative braking and nausea. Many passengers find the experience of acceleration in an EV feels different from gasoline cars, leading to discomfort. The discomfort arises not from electromagnetic fields as previously thought, but rather from brain adaptation to unfamiliar motion environments. Passengers who are used to traditional vehicles rely on sound and vibrations that provide reassuring signals during acceleration, which are absent in EVs.
Greater sickness in EVs can be attributed to a lack of previous experience, as both a driver and as a passenger, where the brain lacks accuracy in estimating the motion forces.
Accelerating in an electric vehicle is a very different experience from what you get in a gas-powered one, as the rush of instant torque is much more fun for some.
