Even a rocket engine style wok burner isn’t going to put 8000 watts of power into the pan, restaurant induction stoves are kinda crazy, and can absolutely get the wok hei reaction.
But $$$ and rental apartments are a thing. I have a gas stove here and am happy with it, if I’m ever in a position to own my own place and have the money I might consider induction
Be careful, tons of induction stoves are just garbage. Even if they’re expensive. Don’t buy until you try a specific model. Test to make sure 1. The heating area is the correct size, and not a little circle in the center. 2. The max power boils water fast. 3. Low power is actually low power not “heat super hot for 2 seconds, then turn off for 8”.
Induction oven companies, esp LG will straight up lie about induction oven’s specs.

Thanks for the info. Gas is great but also quite directly reliant on non-renewables so that’s a point. But either are great to cook with
