    Induction or generally an electric stove should not be against regulation. Is it a problem of outdated 110V cabling in the US?

      Electric ranges definitely exist here so the stated reasoning alone doesn’t make sense. My guess is the developers didn’t want to pay for higher voltage wires as you allude to. Seems pretty solvable but I a lot of people in the US barely cook so I guess it works for those people.

        There’s tabletop electric burners and induction burners thar run off standard 110 outlets, I wonder if those would be allowed?

      We get 240v. Just most household outlets are 120v. Notable exceptions that get the full 240v are ovens and stoves. I figure there’s more to it, just not easy to cover without taking over the entire video.
