If you have a “traditional” electric stove top, you’ll see gas pits out a lot more heat and responds quicker. On the other hand my brother just got an electric resistive glass top with a “boost” mode that claims to boil water almost as fast as gas.

I’m in the process of switching from gas to induction and I’m finding the process unnecessarily difficult. In addition to induction ranges having few models, essentially no display models, and poor availability, I found them significantly more expensive. I had to hire an electrician to add a circuit, but he had to install a sub-panel to make it happen. Now I’m waiting on a plumber: the old gas lines are in the way and need to be removed.

My pots and pans are mostly steel and cast iron, so are fine with induction. I do keep a couple cheap Teflon skillets for anyone else who wants to cook, and did need to replace those. However I’m unhappy to lose my steel griddle top.

I’m doing it for health reasons, although it may be too late. My kids did have asthma when they were little, and gas stoves are associated with increased risk of that. While there is no proven association with adult lung problems, it’s still indoor air pollution and I’ve had a persistent wheezy cough since COViD
