·Electric golf carts give me the same feeling. By 14th or 15th hole I feel unsteady. Maybe I should have the 8th beer and see if it helps.

··Ash @ ΩFI've been in the back of a Tesla (Uber) and motion-wise that seemed a bit strange, but could've just been the driver. It wasn't nice. BYD's seemed fine, nothing to note.
I'm probably not the best test case, since thankfully I don't get motion sick in boats/planes/cars.
But then there isn't any option to specify a non-EV if you're wanting to avoid it, so each day I end up just hoping to get a regular Camry or something when I carpool into the city with a mate. I'd even pay slightly extra if it meant I wasn't spending the trip worried I'd be sick but its not an option they offer as they want to discourage ICE vehicles in the long term as it's less profitable for them.

·When I was in Mexico City last month most of the Ibets we took were small Chinese electric vehicles, no issues at all. Slow going though for much of the time because of the narrow streets or heavy traffic on other routes.

·I've driven an EV for 8+ years. My kids sometimes get motion sickness in my wife's car (not an EV) but never mine.

These grounding straps were supposed to reduce staric electricity and by that reduce car sickness. It was quite common to see when I was a kid.
I have no idea how static electricity could influence car sickness, but if it indeed does, EVs should have more electrical fields and thous more car sickness.
I once rode with a binary driver that was binary not only with the accelerator, but with the steering as well. Damn that was scary, thinking that we were going straight off the road only to be yanked over mid turn.

··This Space for Rentmotion sickness is largely due to the car not starting/ stopping/ etc when your brain is expecting it. It may be the timing, or jerky motion.

True, I've never gotten sick as a driver in the hills around my city but if a friend is driving, I get sick easily even if they're not driving in a particularly spirited way. It is 100% because of the lack of control/expectations over the movement. I can see how that would be exacerbated in an EV where you're getting non-traditional deceleration and you're also missing sound cues too.
