    most models require modified electrical outlets and cost hundreds of dollars to install. That’s why startups like Channing Street Copper and Impulse Labs are working to make induction ovens easier to install by adding built-in batteries that supplement regular wall-socket power.

    Surly the batteries will end up costing way more than the outlet installation plus you’d be stuck with yet another proprietary battery that will hard/impossible to replace yourself. No thanks.

      Yeah this is a bad idea. Like all other appliances, it’s easier to simply subsidize energy improvement projects such as running electrical to the kitchen and panel upgrades.
