About us

Electra Research was born from a desire to make meaningful climate impact as fast as possible using existing technology.

We were lucky to come into being at a time where battery technology is just cresting the threshold of usability for in-home battery backup, and where induction stoves are ripe to be adopted by most people in America—better than gas cooking on every dimension of performance and usability.

The most important thing for climate change is a city's battery capacity. Electra frees two birds with one key—each purchaser benefits from better cooking than gas or electric, reduced energy bills, improved air quality in their home, and we all benefit from the additional battery capacity making it possible to run more of our grid off of renewables.
