Power for electric stoves is easily provided for in the US. Power to the household is delivered via a split phase system. Transformers feeding households have a 240V secondary winding which is tapped at each end and then again in the center where it is connected to a grounded neutral. This results in a feed to the household consisting of two 120V lines which are 180 degrees out of sync and a single neutral. Dedicated 240V circuits which connect to both incoming 120V feeds are used for large higher power appliances such as stoves and electric dryers. For example the current national electrical code calls for stoves to be connected to dedicated 240V 50A circuits.

Gas stoves and ovens are used more in the US because in many parts of the US natural gas is cheap and because gas stoves are considered to be superior to traditional electric stoves for cooking because the the heat is more evenly distributed across the surface of the pan, fine adjustment of temperature can be made visually and adjustments to temperature occur more quickly than with electric stoves. Even in areas where gas is not cheap people often choose gas stoves because of this.

For whatever reason induction stoves never really took off in the US. Induction cooking is mostly limited to small single or dual burner countertop units.
