No, in North America all electric hobs are 240v often 30 amp (sometime higher).

With cooking it's all about efficiency of heat transfer, latency of power change, and flexibility of pan lifting between the three types of hobs (electric resistive, induction, gas).

The efficiency of electric resistive and gas is poor, induction is great.

The latency of power change of electric resistive is poor, induction and gas are great.

Flexibility of pan lifting of electric resistive and induction are poor (lift more than a couple of centimetres and you have no heat), gas is good.

The standard electric hob in North America is powered by a NEMA 14-50 outlet which can provide 240V 50A, actually. Really high end ranges use 60A outlets. 30A outlets are typically used for electric dryers.
