US electric stoves are wired into higher power circuits. The stove built-in to the kitchen is just as powerful, though there are transmission losses heating the kettle.
Countertop kettles use less power here because of the plugs, and it takes about the same time as a resistive stove.
Gas stoves here have nozzles that shoot the flame from the center away from the pot you’re trying to heat. You have to choose between slow heating from a tiny flame, or slow heating from heating the air next to the kettle and the handle instead of the kettle itself.
Depends on what your power-delivery is.
European style: way more power aaaand more deadly :)
Us-Style, less power, (about 30% longer to boil a similar volume-kettle) and somewhat less deadly.
Gas-stove-style: most of your actuall power goes besides your pot and doesnt heat the water, some heats the handle, how fun.
