You are wrong on this.
From what you wrote it is obvious that you are thinking of traditional electric stoves where you have elements that heat up. Yes, those are inefficient.
Induction doesn't work that way and it is VERY efficient! My wife (former chef) says it has all the advantages for her of gas cooking without an open flame (instant heat control) and induction gets hotter, faster than RV propane stoves.

Now she hardly uses it and instead uses a portable pro-model (Berghoff) induction burner. If we were going to keep our bricks&sticks we would replace the radiant cooktop with an induction cooktop!
