Nitrogen dioxide exposure due to gas and propane combustion by U.S. stoves

"Popularity" isn't the right word. Most kitchens have the energy source for the stove locked in a time of construction,, and it would be non-trivial remodeling job to change it. It's not like people go out shopping for gas vs. electric stoves every five years, like they do for different cars.

New battery-backed induction stoves from Channing Copper and Impulse Labs are meant to eliminate the need for an electrical upgrade...

> One barrier to their widespread adoption, however, has been that they require a 220-volt electrical hookup, which means for most buyers the cost of an electrical panel upgrade on top of the price of the stove itself. But now a startup called Channing Street Copper Company has created a battery-assisted induction stove that can be plugged into a standard 120V outlet.

Truthfully, that's what we did. It's not that difficult to run a 220v. You can even cap off a gas line and run in it it's place. The biggest problem you might have is needing to rewire part of your electrical box to make room.

People shop for cars every five years? That is more like every 15 years in my family.

We're remodeling a rental and having a gas stove is a big plus versus alternatives. Electric is poor for cooking and induction requires new pots and pans.

Induction requires a specific type of pots and pans. When we switched to induction we were pleased that we didn’t have to buy a single item to use our new stove.

In other words it really depends on the cookware you have today - it may require new cookwar, but it may not.

My point is that renters don't want to figure that out themselves generally.

When we were looking for a rental recently we didn’t want gas and preferred places that had induction.

I think most people just get a stove with two induction and two coil electric burners, so you don't need new pots.

Where are those available? I've not seen any ranges in the US like that
