Problem
Homeowners and property managers who want to replace gas stoves with high‑performance induction cooking face costly electrical upgrades, complex wiring, and health risks from gas emissions. The need for a 240 V circuit and professional installation creates barriers to adopting clean‑energy kitchen appliances.
Solution
Copper’s “Charlie” range integrates a 5 kWh lithium‑iron‑phosphate battery directly into a 30‑inch induction cooktop and convection oven. The battery supplies the high‑power bursts required for induction cooking, allowing the unit to operate from a standard 120 V, 12 A outlet without any electrical retrofit. Smart charging algorithms store renewable energy when the grid is clean and inexpensive, and the battery provides 3–5 meals of cooking capacity during outages. Precise dual‑sensor temperature control (80 °F – 550 °F) and four 2.6 kW cooking zones deliver rapid boil, steady simmer, and high‑heat wok performance. Wi‑Fi/Bluetooth connectivity enables remote monitoring, firmware updates, and integration with home energy management systems. The range is built with a durable glass‑ceramic surface, pan‑detect safety, automatic shut‑off, and a modular architecture that simplifies service. Together, these features deliver a plug‑and‑play, clean‑energy cooking solution that eliminates the need for costly electrical work while providing reliable, high‑quality performance.
Target Audience
Homeowners renovating kitchens, multi‑family property managers, and developers seeking to meet electrification or climate‑compliance goals who want a high‑performance induction range without electrical retrofits.
Features
- Integrated 5 kWh LFP battery that powers four 2.6 kW induction zones and the oven, enabling operation from a standard 120 V outlet.
- Smart charging controller that preferentially charges during low‑cost, low‑carbon periods and provides backup cooking for 3–5 meals during grid outages.
- Dual precision temperature sensors with a range of 80 °F
- 550 °F, delivering turbo preheat (4× faster than gas) and steady heat for baking, roasting, and high‑heat wok cooking.
- Glass‑ceramic cooktop with pan‑detect technology and automatic zone shut‑off for safety; no open flame and surface remains cool to touch.
- Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth connectivity for OTA firmware updates, energy‑usage monitoring, and integration with home automation or utility demand‑response programs.
- Modular design with serviceable sub‑assemblies and a two‑year manufacturer warranty (twice the industry standard).
- Optional premium hardware finishes (black walnut or inkwell polymer knobs) and a sleek blue interior for aesthetic customization.
- Built‑in circuit‑overload protection and UL‑certified battery safety (UL 1973, UL 9540A).
