Do you have any examples?
I think they're talking about an electric kettle. here's the one I have
To my knowledge, they're not very common in the US because their low voltages in households means that kettles take ages to boil.

iirc, the power thing made a slight difference but probably doesn't explain the issue entirely.
Yeah, I'm an American tea drinker, always have used an electric kettle. It still just takes a couple minutes or something, nothing major. I think it's just fewer tea drinkers, maybe.
