Do you have a source for amp standards? My limited search suggests much of EU have 10A plugs. Also here in AU our standard is also 10A along with our NZ family.

In the US ranges typically come with 50A 240V outlets - and as much as that is, it's actually not enough to run the oven plus all 4 burners at the same time.

A low end range has 16K BTU for the oven, plus 4 10K burners = 56,000 BTU = 16.5kWatt.

But the 50A outlet can only deliver 50 * 240 * 80% = 9,600 watt.
