I feel like you didn't even read what I said. For many people here on the US, moving to an induction range is cost prohibitive. It has nothing to do with which one is better. Hell, a lot of homes would even need an electrician to run an electrical line to where the range goes since it used to be common to only have a gas hookup.
Yes, the US is different. My range has a normal 220V plug, and a simple menu to set the maximum wattage it's allowed to draw..
most US stoves use 220v as well.
