    gas stoves and ovens are by far more popular than electric by a good margin.

    That’s because of your power grid/building code is optimized for 120V - and you need more juice for cooking.

      We actually get 220V to the house that gets split up into two different phases of 110. Kitchens and laundry rooms get 220 for ranges and dryers. IIRC the gas appliances are because of marketing and lobbying but I could be wrong.
