Induction uses less electricity than conventional resistance electric stoves, which have been around for a long time. The power usage is high but generally the stove is only on for maybe 15 minutes for most meals. Longer cooking times are more commonly done in an oven.
If you really wanted to cut down on energy used by households then the single biggest thing is making sure all homes are properly insulated to cut down on both heating and cooling.
Electric vehicles are an actual concern, but the issue there can be largely mitigated by making sure they're primarily charged off peak which is also something we have done for a long time with electric water heaters.
