Do you get sickness as a passenger in EV / Hybrid cars

So it depends on the driver.
My passengers in my mini cooper S have complained about feeling sick so there might be something to this theory.

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.

That sounds like a challenge.
Haha, everyone has a threshold, I'm sure. When we owned a sailboat my wife would get violently seasick, while I could be enjoying the same weather and motion. It's funny how different everyone is.

Without a doubt, driving the cart is still my favorite part of golf. Some of the fancier carts are quite peppy too. Race times between holes should be part of the scoring.

I'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.
What's rather annoying as well with Uber is because they're pushing EVs onto drivers with finance and rental deals, they give the option to request an EV as your vehicle at a premium, which is understandable given it tends to get you a more premium / new vehicle in general for your ride.

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.
