Torque

Many passengers report feeling motion sickness in electric vehicles, and the phenomenon is drawing fresh attention. The likely cause is the way EVs accelerate and brake differently from petrol cars: instant torque, strong regenerative braking and quiet operation create sensory mismatches between what the body feels and what the eyes see. Drivers are less affected than passengers, and tips like sitting up front, looking at the horizon and smoothing out acceleration are being shared to ease the discomfort.
