Electric kettles are not common in the US, but they do exist. They are not as efficient as in the UK because we effectively have half the wattage available to such an appliance because of the lower voltage here. Still, it's preferable to using the stove.

The wife and I have a Braun one similar to the one Trevor linked. The "cordless"-ness is a nice feature.
