EVs may be safer for the environment but owners claim the vehicles are causing harm to their health.

There are growing reports of electric car drivers suffering motion sickness, dizziness and nausea from the vehicles' braking and acceleration systems.

And a former Tesla owner has claimed that she experienced nosebleeds, hair loss and 'debilitating' body pains while using the vehicle she purchased in 2021.

While she was not entirely sure the Tesla was at fault, the Georgia resident and said her symptoms disappeared after selling the car.

Tesla owners have had to trade in some models because the air conditioning systems were prone to mold, which can cause asthma-like symptoms

Tesla has been accused of being the 'worst offender' for causing motion sickness from its one-pedal throttle because they can be 'very jerky and really abrupt,' Ed Kim, president and chief analyst of AutoPacific told ABC News.

EV pedals mimic a brake pedal by allowing the vehicle to slow down or stop just by lifting your foot off the pedal, removing the need to switch between the brake and throttle like you would in a gas-powered car.

This means that there's less wear and tear on the braking system, but also means the car will jolt forward or backward depending on how quickly you press down or lift your foot off the accelerator, which drivers wouldn't experience in a gas vehicle

inhaling mold spores can initially cause an asthma reaction, prolonged exposure can develop nosebleeds, blurry vision and headaches, among other symptoms.

Yes, heard that car companies made the windows harder after years of being lighter, making escape more difficult.
People commented when I posted on this topic a few months ago.

Frank Sinatra’s friend bought a new car and the doors and windows “helped” him by locking up, trapping him inside as he was burned alive. He couldn’t remember the trick to rebooting the systems to allow unlocking from inside. Followed his 75th birthday celebration in 1992. His body was burned beyond recognition. Man who was at fault for hitting the car was charged for vehicular manslaughter, felony drunken driving, leaving the scene of a traffic collision and driving with a suspended license.

Did I mention I am a Luddite and I hate tech fetishists?
Which means a lot of people now.

Or vitamin C deficiency.

High voltage power lines can sometimes yield corona discharge. I’m sure EVs don’t run at anywhere near 100-500 KV.
