I guess US adoption is hampered by 110V. You need a lot of amps to make it fast enough.

The US has always mostly either been gas or electric heating elements with very little induction. It's been around for a while. Most US homes that have electric stoves have 220/240V. I've never heard of 400V in a US home. THat doesn't mean that it doesn't exist, but I suspect it's very rare.
