I have used/ currently use the following to great success in my rig:

DOMETIC Cl21 - what Rivian used in their camp kitchen, double burner, only double I’ve ever seen that limits itself to 1500w at max vs all other being 1800w usually
I think it’s been discontinued I picked up locally for about 200 bucks, not sure if it’s an option anymore

Stoke Voltaic Kettle - As mentioned previously the stoke voltaic kettle is like a plug in jetboil
I use it to boil water for coffee or to make a bag meal. I wish they made a coffee plunger for it as it doesn’t fit with any of the other micro pot accessories I’ve seen
Would be nice to make a proper Java kit and not need my pour over or coffee press in addition to it

Instant Pot Duo 3 qt - sips energy useful for a bunch of options only gripe is if you can’t fry and egg in it because the walls are too high

Ninja SP101 - air fryer combo unit, never done any overlanding with it but it’s been flawless making muffins and chicken wings at parking lot events

I also used a nuwave and Duxtop single burner with good success but they got replaced when I found such a good deal on the dometic

When I was looking for commercial induction cooktops, I noticed that they sometimes carries 1800W and 1500W versions for US and Canada respectively. So, you can always check the Canadian market.

I use a dual element induction cooktop that maxes at 1800 watts combined for both elements. I've boiled a 2L kettle of water in ~4 minutes while sending all 1800 watts through one of the elements without tripping the truck's breaker. It's pretty awesome. I'm unsure if the inverter caps the wattage output and my perceived 1800w input is actually less, but either way it's able to be used without the truck complaining.

If one wanted to cook with both heating elements, the wattage used by each power setting is clearly noted in the cooktop manual, so you can just add up your consumption to 1500w if desired.

Just jumping into the cooktop options. I tested out a single burner Copper Chef induction burner this weekend and was a bit disappointed. From what I can tell I shouldn’t have had any issues:
COPPER CHEF M INDUCTION COOKTOP
120VAC 60Hz, 1300W
Model:KC16067-00300

It worked fine at home plugged into the truck, boiled water on high no issues, but when I used it at the camp site I could not get it past medium heat. Anything above 260 degrees and it would just beep. Not sure if something is wrong with the truck, the burner or something else…. Auto high beans stopped working on the trip and no reset has restored them yet.

Very happy with this little kettle though:

Combined with an insulated stainless steel coffee press makes for nice hot coffee for 2 that stays hot a while!

I've used an electric kettle for my coffee press, an Instant Pot, slow cooker and recently a Duxtop 9600LS inductive cooktop. The cooktop is 1800W at it highest but it is adjustable. It worked at its highest setting (10) but I typically don't go above 1500W (setting 8.5) when I use it - even at home.

Found this at a great price. Can set each burner to max wattage of 900 and 600w.

After trying 3 different induction burners, I now have an Itrusou hot plate. Not field tested yet, but it does seem to work in my carport.

Great find! I've been using an old IKEA one we've had for ages. They're great deals too. Just looked and they're still $60 and it seems more compact than our old one.

Not long after getting our Rivian I picked up a Ryobi case for it to keep it protected at home and on trips. It's a good fit. The new ones seem like they'd fit in a smaller tool case.

I've added these to my set up, they help a ton with the slipperiness of the cookware on the cooktop:

Dude - I can't thank you enough for the link! I've been looking at this one on Amazon and couldn't pull the trigger at $235. $150 at Costco...can't believe I didn't think to check there.

Induction cooktops are the best, IMHO. I don’t especially want to carry flammable gas cylinders in my R1S. Also the nice thing about induction is that, many are very lightweight and low profile, so easy to carry into a hotel room if on a trip and want to do your own cooking. I decided to get a 1 kWh EcoFlow Delta battery so I can power multiple things at the same time and not be worried about tripping the R1’s circuit breaker. I use the Rivian Outlet to keep the Ecoflow charged.

I agree! We're heading out on a month long road trip and I'm looking forward to cooking on induction. Just bought an Anker C1000 battery for the same reason.
