I understand the heat pumps and EV part, but how is induction stove so much more efficient than gas stove?
Sure you're putting the heat directly into the pot, OK I get that part. But a gas stove doesn't waste 80+% of the energy to the house. And any pot on an induction stove will also heat up and lose some energy to the house as well. Induction isn't magic that just puts the energy into the food. A quick Google search shows that gas stoves are 30-55% efficient and induction are 80-95%. So maybe 3x at best, and probably more like 2x.
Or maybe I missed something! Very open to that idea.
