Are induction stoves shit in the US because of the lower voltage? Honest question

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (4 children)

We're actually split phase and higher power appliances like stoves, EV chargers, water heaters run on 240 volts.

But the "standard" wall outlets are 15 amps at 120 volts.

Electric stoves run on 400v in Europe, so they are still faster

faster

pretty sure that's due to the spoiler and racing stripe.
