An oft-touted advantage of owning an electric vehicle is one-pedal driving, when drivers can slow down a vehicle simply by lifting off the throttle.

But as more Americans swap their gas-powered cars and trucks for an EV, some are also realizing there are drawbacks to the one-pedal lifestyle.

“It can cause some people to get sick,” John Voelcker, a former editor of Green Car Reports and a contributing editor at Car and Driver, told ABC News. “Strong regenerative braking, which recaptures max energy, can cause motion sickness. There is a learning curve to lifting off the accelerator in an EV … you have to modulate it.”

Voelcker said he has felt queasy at least twice while riding in the back seat of a Tesla.

“The drivers didn’t know how to modulate Tesla’s strong regen braking,” he recalled. “I was thrown around a little bit.”

Ed Kim, president and chief analyst of AutoPacific, said Teslas are the “worst offenders” because they can be “very jerky and really abrupt.”

“Most automakers have tuned the throttles to be jumpy in EVs to emphasize the power, but the side effect is that they can lurch and make some occupants car sick. You have to be so careful on how to apply the throttle … if not, it can lead to an abrupt seesaw motion for passengers,” Kim told ABC News.
