Induction (not electric coil) stoves are still somewhat rare and generally much more expensive than a gas range (2-4x) in the US.


The cost savings are taking time to percolate through the system, people are still anchored on the higher prices. It is electricity, it’s not like more expensive electricity is any better. Cheap appliances are getting really good. Once people find out they’re getting ripped off they should hopefully let go of their anchored price and look for bargains. It just takes time.
