We took a windy road recently with the kids, meaning seriously windy — even the driver would sometimes get queasy in the past — and while I admittedly took it easy, we were all completely fine. My husband postulated that it was because there was no up and downshifting. It certainly was remarkably smoother in the EV but I was still astonished that none of us felt even a little bit yucky.

For a moment, I was wondering how strong the wind must blow to induce queasiness.
