(And the above even generously assumes the generation is not CHP which would make induction look better still, and ignores the extra energy needed for chilling your house) The low efficiency of transferring heat from gas to the cooking vessel kills the odds for the gas range in the competition, most of energy goes to heating air instead of the kettle. (But we shouldn't generate electricity from gas of course, fossils need to be left in the ground to avert worst of the climate disaster)
