Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.  I’m Fred Fishkin.   How to switch from a gas stove to electric without having to retrofit wiring?   Electra Research has built the Electra Induction Stove to solve that.   CEO Bert Muthalaly…

“Normally for an upgrade from gas to electric you would need to put in a 240 volt line and often people are constrained in the amount of power they have in their panel so they can’t do it or it’s prohibitively expensive.  Electra solves this problem by putting a 5 kilowatt hour battery directly in the range so that you can charge when energy is cheapest and cleanest and use power just like a full size range.  The other benefit is just like gas, you can cook through a power outage.”

The price…about 4 thousand dollars.   More questions…check out our full interview online.
