There are a few models of induction stove which include a large battery to run them by charging from 120v. Stoves are also kind of unique in that they have far less effective venting of exhaust than other appliances, so the health risk from them is much larger.
If youre able to get enough sunlight to charge the stove, its worth thinking about.
But a friend has one of the bigass battery models (the expensive fancy one because he was impressing his inlaws). Cooked a full friendsgiving dinner with the only problem being his burners being tiny (which we all knew but didn’t want to say…).
Which, conceptually, makes sense. I basically only have my induction at full power when I am rapidly bringing something to a boil so I can then add the noodles and back off. So maybe a minute every 30-60 minutes during a big cooking day? And the rest of the time it is at between 40-70% on 1-2 of the 4 burners.
So if we assume the stoves are properly rated to power all four burners at 100% on a 240V circuit? That should actually be pretty within reason for a 120V circuit to handle with the battery pack being for bursting beyond that.
I would still be incredibly wary of buying one since the batteries do have a limited number of cycles. But if you are spending that much for a new stove? You probably are planning to do that again within the next decade?
I looked into it and since my whole house runs on batteries having a battery powered one doesn’t change much it just uses too much power generally so a propane stove is much better for my specific use case.
Youre going to have to look at a spec sheet, but the stoves with a built-in battery tend to designed to draw a constant low amperage as they charge, and then be able to cook about three meals from the battery. Very different from stoves without a battery.

The main thing would be what’s the voltage/amperage required and how does the oven work if it’s a standard one or not.
Your mileage may vary, obviously

Full range (stove & oven) requires 50 amp circuit on 220v-240v. Plugs into Nema 14-50 outlet in USA usually, but you can wire up whatever.
Technically only needs the 50 amp breaker since it could use that much if everything is turned on.
You could get a single burner induction cooktop and they’ll plug into a normal 120v 15 amp outlet.
