Share your experiences of carsickness in electric vehicles

We would like to hear from people about whether they experience motion sickness riding in electric vehicles

A growing number of studies suggest that people experience more carsickness riding in electric vehicles (EVs) compared to traditional petrol or diesel cars.

A 2024 study believes that regenerative braking technology – where the motor converts the slowing car’s kinetic energy into electricity that then is stored in the battery – results in low-frequency deceleration, meaning that the vehicle slows down gradually and steadily, over a relatively longer period, rather than rapidly or in quick pulses. Such low-frequency deceleration tends to be associated with higher levels of motion sickness.
