 How Much Electricity for all Commuters?
  Analysis & Commentary: "Gigawatts per EV Commuters"
  (to calculate: click curser on, then off, yellow input cell)
  # commuters
  average round trip commute (miles)
  daily commute mileage
   
  miles per kilowatt-hour (average)
  kWh req'd to recharge cars
  average recharge period (hours)
  offpeak kilowatt output req'd
  offpeak megawatt output req'd
  offpeak gigawatt output req'd
  daily gigawatt-hour input

How to use this calculator:

(1) It is sometimes necessary to click on one of the yellow input cells, then click somewhere else on the screen in order to prompt the interactive spreadsheet to calculate and display results.

(2) Yellow cells are input cells - you may enter your own assumptions in these cells.

(3) When you refresh the screen, the original default assumptions will reappear in the yellow input cells.
