Here in Germany, the electric kettle is about as common as... well, toasters, or microwaves, or coffee makers of different makes. I don't think I've seen a "regular" kettle in the last... 20 years.
Given that you can get different makes from anywhere between ?10-100+, pretty much every home and workplace i've been to has one. The only exceptions I've found is if people have a higher-end espresso-machine which can produce boiling-point water in seconds. Even then, many still have a kettle, if only for greater amounts (like filling a thermos and such).
