I use a flat bottom carbon steel wok on an electric stove and it heats up like lightning. Its the top pick from this article. Kenji Lopez-alt, a long time serious eats contributor, also wrote the book on woks that is excellent if you’re interested in getting started with wok cooking.
With the above wok, I can get oil smoking in 30 seconds from cold, and it sears everything like a dream. It is 100% the “dont turn away while its going or else” wok cooking experience. Unless you have very exacting standards, woks are covered on electric/induction.

Sure, but you dont need a dedicated induction wok element. The flat bottomed woks are insanely good and work on any stove.
