My wife has been wearing a Fit Bit device, which tracks both the number of steps she takes and the number of floors she climbs daily. An odd thing is happening though: when I drive her home from work in my EV, a 1500-ft (450 m) ascent, the device falsely gives her credit for about 7 floors climbed. Yet when we make the trip in one of our ICE cars, it registers no such floor-climbing credit. My first thought is that maybe the stiffer suspension on the EV is causing more vibration and fooling the device into thinking that she's walking--does that sound plausible? Or are there other possibilities anyone could think of? We've already tried removing the device from her belt and putting it in her purse for the duration of the ride, but it still gives her the credit. I mean, I know that my EV is great, but I don't think she's getting healthier just by riding in it. :)
