minus-squareusrtrv@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up29·3 天前So why does Japan at 100V have electric kettles everywhere? It’s a cultural reason not the electrical grid.
minus-squarelime!@feddit.nulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·3 天前good point! i don’t know much about their grid, only that it’s 50Hz in the west and 60Hz in the east.
