- tandr 7y ago> in a fairly sunny city in Australia nope, not doing that -- too hot.
- icebraining 7y agoIf you need AC, then your EV range will also suffer.
- EForEndeavour 7y agoThat's about a 90-minute walk each way. Even in the age of podcasts and earbuds, that's a supremely unappealing way to cover 5 miles.
- Johnny555 7y agoI don't know how fast they walk down in Australia, but in the USA, that's around 45 minutes each way.
- cozos 7y ago5 miles at 45 minutes is 6.66 miles/hour. Unless most Americans are professional speed walkers I think that's jogging speed.
- cstejerean 7y agoI think you’re confusing 5 miles / day with 5 miles each way. 5 miles per day is 2.5m each way which is about 45 minutes each way of walking and 90 minutes total walking per day (not each way)
- tzs 7y agoAverage walking speed is 3.2 miles/hour or less [1]. That's 94 minutes for 5 miles. [1] https://www.healthline.com/health/exercise-fitness/average-walking-speed https://www.healthline.com/health/exercise-fitness/average-w...
- soperj 7y agoSo 47 each way... splitting hairs.
- paublyrne 7y agoOr 20 minute cycle
- cstejerean 7y ago90 minutes per day not each way if the commute is 5 miles per day. That’s walking distance of you’re motivated, but if I lived 2.5 miles from work I think I’d commute on my OneWheel at least when it’s not raining.
- quicklyfrozen 7y agoIt's 2.5 miles each way, pretty walkable if weather is ok. Probably not even uphill each way. :-)
- angrygoat 7y agoIn my particular case I work from home, and my 'commute' is back and forth from church in the morning; I give a lift to a friend who isn't terribly mobile, so the car is necessary – otherwise I'd be on the bicycle. Unusual, I'll grant :-)
