In Europe one can get induction for less than €200. Significantly less. And a "real", full size one, 4 spots. And adding an oven adds additional €200. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [+] Horsecook@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 months ago (2 children) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] rollerbang@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 child) You're right, I've updated my post. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [+] Horsecook@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] budget_biochemist@slrpnk.net 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) For comparison, in Australia, gas and induction are at price parity (a budget 4-hotplate setup costs about $200-300 either way).

It's slightly more complex than a standard electric stove, but we have and use countless devices on a daily basis with this technology. Very rarely do they have any issues with the charging/discharge circuit. Yes, the batteries will eventually need to be replaced, and it could be an issue during Thanksgiving (etc) when a ton of power is needed all at once. But I really think you're overestimating the usage it will get. In any event, this is why they're running it as a pilot. Any real-world issues will come to light before a larger rollout. permalink fedilink source parent
