The equivalent of about 1,111 TWh (terawatt-hours) of power is used by cars with gasoline engines in the United States each year.

Electric vehicles would require about four times more energy to operate compared with a gasoline engine vehicle.

If the total US electricity consumption was 3,882 TWh for the year, how much more electricity is needed to support an all-electric car system?

(Write the equation used for this calculation , give the percentage you got as your answer and round up to the next whole value)
