Your burning questions,
answered.

It’s more efficient. With gas stoves, most energy is wasted—only 20-40% of it even makes it to your food. Due to its game-changing efficiency, Electra’s stove puts up to 90% of its energy directly into your food.

Your steel pans and cast iron pans will already work. If you have any doubts, you can check if a magnet sticks to the pan to make sure. Electra loves classic heavy-bottomed pans. Try it with cast iron for braising and lightning-hot sears on steaks—Electra makes cast iron sing.

Electra may qualify for state or local rebates as an energy-efficient electric appliance in you area. After purchase, we’ll work with you to identify any incentives you may qualify for. We always recommend checking with a tax specialist before making any decisions.

Yes, when you install Electra you can connect your stove to the home network. This will enable the stove to charge when electricity is cheapest and install software updates automatically. It also means you’ll be able to monitor the stove and oven remotely via the Electra app. However, the whole system also works without WiFi - so connecting is totally up to you.

Yes, very. Electra's LFP batteries are different from conventional lithium ion batteries (NMC or NCA), like the ones found in e-bikes and electric vehicles.

LFP is a safer battery chemistry because it is very difficult to overheat, and doesn't catch fire even if it overheats. Every component of Electra has been designed to comply with UL standards and UN 38.3 for shipping.

We stand behind what we build. If something goes wrong, we’ll help make it right—whether that’s a part replacement, a repair, or in some cases, a full swap. Electra is designed to be serviceable, not disposable. Our support team is real, responsive, and ready to help.

Starting from the top right and going clockwise, Electra’s burners measure 10” (best-in-class), 6”, 7”, and 6”. The two larger burners deliver 1800W of power for high-heat searing, rapid boiling, and big-batch cooking. The smaller burners run at 900W—perfect for simmering sauces, melting chocolate, or keeping dishes warm without scorching.

Yes, in October 2026, Wirecutter, The New York Times' product review site, named the Electra Induction Stove a top pick in its guide to The Best Electric Stoves and Ranges. It called Electra "a basic but beautiful induction range that you can plug in anywhere."

Short answer: no. That's what makes Electra different. The battery charges from your standard 120V outlet between meals, then delivers power like you're cooking on 240V when you need it.

Electra plugs into a standard 120V AC outlet and can be set to pull between 2- 12 amps (for up to 1440 watts of power). That’s roughly the same as a microwave or space heater. The built-in battery then delivers up to 6800W of power so you can use all the burners and oven at once.

If your outlet is already busy, say you’ve got a toaster on the same circuit, you can use our “breaker saver” feature to lower Electra’s current draw to 10, 5 or even 2 amps. That way the stove plays nicely with the rest of your appliances.

You don’t have to think about charging—Electra is always plugged in, and the battery intelligently charges to optimize clean, cheap energy and stay topped up. If it ever does run low (say, after an extended power outage), it takes about 3 hours to fully recharge—but you can still cook from mains during this time. For day-to-day use, the battery quietly takes care of itself in the background. No separate charging step, no special routine.

You won't need to worry about the battery for everyday cooking or special occasions—it intelligently manages itself. If the battery ever runs out the whole system still works on wall power alone. If the power’s out, a fully charged Electra can boil enough water for pasta for 48 people (or 78 cups of tea).

Our batteries are rated for 15 years. Even after fifteen years of daily use (6000 cycles), the system will still perform at ~80% of its original capacity. The battery is easily repairable—and not just by Electra. When it's time to replace the battery, it can be done by any qualified technician with no specialized tools.

Shipping is a flat $600 rate anywhere in the continental United States.

If you’re switching from a gas stove, have a qualified technician cap your gas line before your Electra stove arrives. If you’re switching from a 240V electric or induction range, have a qualified technician disconnect your range.

On install day, our 2-person crew will slide your existing stove out, and slide your new Electra induction stove in. Once Electra is plugged in and switched on, it’s ready to cook. We’ll take your old gas or electric stove, along with the packaging for your Electra stove, away to a recycling center.

No—Electra runs on a standard 120V outlet and allows you to dial in the power draw, which means no electricians, no permits, and no surprise costs. If your home can handle a coffee maker or a microwave, it can handle Electra. Just plug it in and go.

For sure—Electra doesn’t mind being off-grid, as long as it has a way to charge. If you’ve got solar, a generator, or shore power, you’re in good shape. As always, we recommend checking your power setup to make sure you’ll have enough juice for daily cooking—but Electra is game to live wherever you do.
