Heating an icehockey rink

 

Excel Energy found has written, that there is around 2'000 kWh used to heat an icehockey rink (Kunsteisbahn) day by day. This might be an abstract amount of energy for a normal citizen. What do you think, how many typical cell phones could be charged with the energy which is used to heat an icehockey rink?

 

Calculation data

Your Solution

 

Approximately ___ cell phones could be charged with the energy which is used to heat an ice rink.
