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?
