Why drivers feel nauseous in electric cars and what to do about it.

According to information from , drivers who usually do not feel nauseous during trips in internal combustion engine vehicles can experience motion sickness while driving an electric car.

Scientists from Nagoya University in Japan believe that the problem lies in regenerative braking, which creates low-frequency vibrations and irregular delays. The brain cannot process them correctly, leading to feelings of nausea.

How to help the driver

Scientists recommend producing a sound at a frequency of 100 Hz for one minute to reduce nausea during electric car trips. This sound stimulates the organs responsible for detecting acceleration and gravitational forces. The effect becomes noticeable over a long period and improves the driver's balance.

Currently, scientists are collaborating with Denso to integrate this method into modern infotainment systems of electric vehicles.
