Today I learned that people get more carsick in EVs
If you have felt like want to vomit riding in a Tesla or BYD and thought you were imagining it, you are not.
Electric vehicles cause more frequent and more severe motion sickness than petrol cars. A study back in 2024 found symptoms were 10 to 30 percent more intense. Back-seat passengers suffer the most.
Three reasons.
No engine sound.
Your brain has been trained to associate engine revving with acceleration. EVs are silent. Your brain gets no warning of the motion about to hit.
Instant torque.
Electric motors deliver maximum torque immediately. Petrol engines build up gradually. An EV accelerating from a traffic light reaches highway speed way quicker.
Regenerative braking.
The main culprit. When the driver lifts off the accelerator, the motor reverses into a generator to recapture energy. The deceleration this creates happens at roughly 0.2 Hz, which is almost exactly the frequency that triggers motion sickness.
One-pedal driving makes it worse. In a petrol car you coast between acceleration and braking. In an EV you are constantly accelerating or decelerating. That forward-back rhythm never existed in petrol cars before.
Manufacturers have noticed. Tesla, BYD, and MG let you reduce regen braking. Xiaomi's YU7 introduced a dedicated motion sickness mode. Mercedes has simulated V8 engine sounds so the audio cues reduce motion sickness.
If you get sick in an EV, three practical moves.
Reduce regen braking in settings.
Sit in the front.
Look far ahead, not at your phone.
Have you noticed this while sitting in an EV?
Tak payah pergi. Biar event tu sendu. Ada banyak lagi aktiviti bermanfaat sekitar tu.

Buku, demo, joget. Barulah betul-betul budaya Malaysia 😌
Hi @hannahyeoh, salam sejahtera
I think the policy is silly and disconnected from reality, but I appreciate you trying to do something.
No need to "work with Zus to collect the data....analyse the pattern".
Feel free to ask your officers to contact me - using only open-source data (public transport ridership, traffic cams, Google Maps), I can already show you the time distribution of travel into KL in the morning, and out of KL in the evening. And if you add the additional data which gov has access to, you'll get an even richer picture.
Hint: It's massively driven by the time people send their kids to school, and your policy will barely move the needle.
Guyssss remember last year artists questioned if the sunbear mascots are AI generated? Fortunately, it is not.
But guess what Tourism Malaysia is doing now? 😂
Remember how y'all call artists annoying for that? Remember?

I pernah try makan sini one night with my parents and sister.
My dad ordered hot chocolate. It came lukewarm. So my dad complained,” Kenapa hot choc ni tak panas? Buat yg baru boleh.” Then they did made a new one. And panas. Bila my dad nak minum, hot choc tu bocor. Gelas dah retak😭🤣 Then ny dad asked,”Kenapa mug uoll ni retak bila kena air panas? Low quality ke?”. Then, they transfer it into a lousy papercup.
Sumpah memang last day datang sapot kedai tu🤣😭
