Our battery completely changes that equation. Whether it's hooked up to a 120V or 240V connection, our battery charges gradually while you're not using it. Then, when you're ready to cook, it can quickly release the power it's stored up to achieve astoundingly high performance. We're talking 72,000 BTU/h. Compare that to 18,000 for the best gas stoves.

That's what I was thinking. My place isn't wired for 240v. I was initially excited. Then I saw the price and converted to Canadian dollars. It's been a while since I've priced it out, but I think it would be less expensive for me to put in 240v, get power to my shop, and buy a used electric stove. Obviously, I wouldn't have induction, but that's not something I actually care about.
