I’m curious about this as well. The climate there can easily support efficient electric heat sources (heat pump) in the cold season. Gas ranges/hobs are nice but induction is pretty good now.

Also replaced the gas water heater with a heat pump. The gas bill went way down, and the electricity bill didn’t go up.

My weed vape uses induction, and it rips very nicely.
