I never knew anyone who used an electric "kettle" until the last few years, other than seeing them on British tv shows. My mom still uses a stove top teapot.

In the UK they are distinct items. And almost every UK household has at least one electric kettle. And at least one teapot.
Amazon UK lists over 600 electric kettles, and nearly 500 teapots....
I do remember electric kettles being almost impossible to come by in Colorado, about 20 years ago. Ditto tea pots.
