Copper Charlie Battery-Equipped Induction Range: Overview
Copper Charlie is a 30-inch induction range with a built-in 5 kWh battery. It plugs into a regular 120 V or 240 V outlet, so switching from gas is simple.
- Battery-boosted power: Induction needs lots of power in short bursts, so Charlie draws it from its battery. As a result, it boils water and preheats the oven 3-4x faster than gas.
- Cooks during outages: That same battery holds enough power to cook 3-5 meals when the grid goes down. By default, it charges when renewable energy is likely available.
- High-power cooktop and oven: Four 7.9-inch zones deliver 3 kW each, and the broiler puts out 3,000 W. Plus, the 4.55 cu. ft. oven preheats to 350°F in 3:50.
- No gas fumes: Induction cooks without a flame, so Charlie doesn’t emit benzene into your kitchen.
Backed by a 2-year range warranty and 5-year battery warranty, Charlie is a practical way to leave gas behind.
