Copper upgrades its battery-powered induction stove to bring even more heat to your kitchen

Copper has unveiled an upgraded version of its Copper Charlie induction stove, now called the New Charlie, which boasts several enhancements designed to improve cooking performance. One of the most significant changes is its ability to accommodate both 120-volt and 240-volt outlets, providing homeowners with greater flexibility compared to the Classic Charlie, which only works with 120-volt outlets.

Another notable upgrade is the New Charlie's integrated battery, which Copper claims is more powerful than gas. This powerful battery is capable of boiling water 3-4 times faster on any cooking zone compared to the Classic Charlie. The base model of the New Charlie is priced at $6,799 for the Inkwell Black Polymer design, while the Black Walnut design costs $7,199. The Inkwell Black Polymer model is $400 less than the Black Walnut design, depending on the finish chosen.

The New Charlie's induction coils have also been upgraded, with their power now increased to 3000 Watts, up from 2800 Watts on the original stove. Additionally, the broiler has been enhanced, with its power rising from 2700 Watts to 3000 Watts. As a result, preheating to 350°F has been reduced from 4 minutes and 30 seconds to just 3 minutes and 50 seconds.

Despite these impressive features, the higher price tag may make the New Charlie a tough sell for some. While the Classic Charlie was already a premium appliance at $5,999 for the Inkwell Black Polymer design, the New Charlie's base price has increased to $6,799 for the Black Walnut design.
