Wow. My 1500W, 1.7 liter capacity kettle (which is a pretty typical one here) did 500ml in 2:32, and my tap water started warmer than yours (70f/21c).
I did it again with slightly colder water (63f/17c) and it took 2:40.
So even if our tea consumption was similar (which it is not) I can certainly see how we might figure the microwave or stove top is good enough.
We should start a business that imports UK kettles and installs 220v circuits in kitchens.
