Electric Kettles are not ubiquitous here in the US the same way they are in the UK, but every Walmart, Target, or similar store in America has at least one electric kettle available for purchase on the shelf right now. They're not rare here.

Half of those are like 800W and take forever to heat. The other half are at least 1500W so they only take three-ever, but that's still way too long for me when I'm grumpy in the morning.

Anyway, long story short I have a 3000W kettle attached to a NEMA 6-20R in my kitchen.
