Hot-plate-only electric stoves are two-phase. Electric stoves with integrated oven are usually three-phase.

Not modern stoves. Buy anything from the past few years and it's almost certainly just comes with a 240V plug

  Also country-dependent. In Sweden, most modern stoves would be 240V, but with the possibility to connect two (or even three) phases. I imagine that the same stove models are sold all over Europe, but that in countries where multiple phases are uncommon, the stove would come with a 240V plug already connected (i.e. set up to use a single phase).

    Even if the stove is powered by single phase [1], it may not be used with a 240V plug, as these are rated for 16 A. And 3.7 kW limit is enough ony for small portable 2-plate stoves. [1] which is possible even for full 11 kW stove, if you have 40A single phase power.

      Is there an oven included in that power consumption for a stove? I can set my plates by wattages, and I rarely need more than 1kW for one plate, and never exceed 3.7 for all 4.

      Bosch (and I assume Siemens and Neff which are the same company) induction hobs are limited electronically. There is a setting that lets you configure the max power it can draw from 1000W - maximum (7400W for this model): https://media3.bosch-home.com/Documents/bosch.html?matNumber=9001063697&lang=en https://media3.bosch-home.com/Documents/bosch.html?matNumber... see "Basic Settings"

  Just checked e-shop - most ovenless induction stoves with 4 zones were 7 kW (two phase). Only small portable 2-zone induction hotplates have 240V plug. Regular induction stoves with 4 zones and integrated oven were ~11 kW (3x16 A).

  I just checked. ~20% of the hot plate-only stoves with 4+ cooking fields from 2016 or newer consume 8KW+ according to a popular European price comparison site (these are certainly 3-phase). For induction it's about 10%. Almost all of them consume more than 4KW, so should be 2-phase minimum and obviously won't come with a Schuko plug.
