Dozens of public housing apartments will get plug-in induction ranges as part of the initiative, which aims to eventually shift 10,000 NYCHA homes off the use of polluting fossil fuel appliances.
Battery backed seems odd. I just got a regular induction stove and it’s great. No idea why someone would choose to use gas. Oh well, their lungs are not my problem.

Very probable that the apartment doesn’t have enough amperage to support typical electric induction stoves.
Oh yeah, weak US grid.
That said my house is 62A and doesn’t have any problems, even with a heat pump. I had my gas connection removed.
It can also keep the fridge running in an outage so there is that as well.
The battery means you can run a 4-burner stove on 120v, which avoids the need to rewire apartment buildings
