At least in talking to friends in the US, we generally say "gas", "electric coil", "Electric flat top", and "Induction" if it was important to draw a distinction. I haven't encountered anyone who said "Electric" and meant "induction". Granted, induction hasn't really caught on here yet. Lots of older people I talk to don't even know what I'm talking about. My friends who are in a position to buy a stove are generally buying induction, though.

I’m in the US and I usually just hear “gas” or “electric”, but I live in an area where gas is cheap and common.
