    Domestic microwave ovens rarely offer more than 1kW of power, while a regular British kettle is 3kW. It takes ages to boil a cuppa in the microwave and that’s unacceptable!

      Hey, that’s not bad!!! Doesn’t work here in Canada but now I’m really curious about it in Europe/UK. Gotta love the extra volts 💪

        Extra volts are great! We can also get three phases if needed, that’s how domestic EV chargers go up to 22kW or something :) Three phases in the UK get you 240V x 300A, but you are not allowed a single device to have more than 30A per phase I believe.
