We have stuff like NEMA 6-15 outlets in the USA, and there are other countries where 220v at 60hz is the norm – so it’s possible to get kettles designed for that.
Alternatively: for around the same price you could get an “instant hot” water heater installed under the sink and have dedicated tap for boiling hot water without any wait.
Fun fact: electric kettles are nerfed in the US and other 110V countries (~1kW vs ~2kW of power usage)
Still faster than a gas stove tho

Mine is 1.5kW in Canada. But I often wish I could buy a UK one and hook it to my dryer outlet.
