‘Extreme nausea’: Are EVs causing car sickness – and what can be done?

Phil Bellamy's daughters refuse to ride in his electric car without travel sickness tablets. Are there other solutions?

It was a year in to driving his daughter to school in his new electric vehicle that Phil Bellamy discovered she dreaded the 10-minute daily ride - it made her feel sick in a way no other car did.

As the driver, Bellamy had no problems with the car but his teenage daughters struggled with sickness every time they entered the vehicle. Research has shown this is an issue - people who did not usually have motion sickness in a conventional car found that they did in EVs.
