How does EV braking cause sickness?
Electric vehicles use regenerative braking, where the electric motor acts as a generator to slow the car and recharge the battery. This process can cause a more abrupt deceleration than traditional friction brakes, especially when lifting off the accelerator. This sudden, often silent, change in motion contributes to the sensory conflict and motion sickness described.
