"In a first-of-its-kind study, the University of Lincoln and CarGurus have
revealed that dogs are more relaxed in electric vehicles (EVs) than diesel
cars. The CarGurus Dogs and EVs study, which has been submitted for publication
in an international scientific journal, was commissioned to investigate the
effects of travelling in electric vehicles versus diesel cars on dog behaviour
and welfare.
CarGurus, the fastest-growing online automotive marketplace in the UK, and the
University of Lincoln carried out the two-day study using 20 dogs. Each dog was
taken on two 10-minute journeys, one in an electric vehicle followed by the
same route in a diesel, before a range of scientific measures were used to
analyse the dog’s behaviour.
Led by Daniel Mills, Professor of Veterinary Behavioural Medicine at the
University of Lincoln, the study found that dogs were less settled in diesel
cars compared with electric vehicles. Plus, those dogs appearing to show some
signs of car sickness had notably reduced symptoms in an electric car."
