> At least with EU induction stoves, so 230V.

US induction cooktops/stoves are almost always 240V, unless you get a little countertop burner.

> I'm kind of surprised by this.

As am I. The first time I put a small pot of water on my induction cooktop and turned it on maximum power, I laughed out loud. If I'm only doing enough for a cup of coffee or tea, it starts boiling so fast you don't want to step away.



One small thing I'd like to add, I actually forgot about this.

> US induction cooktops/stoves are almost always 240V, unless you get a little countertop burner.

EU induction cooktops/stoves are actually 380/400V.

It doesn't change much, because the amperage might be lower, I don't know.

I just wanted to add that bit of trivia :-)
