Two of the most important criteria for wok cooking are
instant, very high heat
instant low heat
You can't get either of these with electric anything! Not electric stove
nor electric wok. Besides which, you don't really want a flat bottomed
wok anyway! That defeats the very idea of wok cookery, and was only
developed to satisfy electric stove users.

For wok cooking, invest a few dollars in a single propane gas burner.
You can find the table-top models that use propane cartridges in most
Asian markets, and a 3-pack of cartridges to go with it for under $25.
Use two settings; full blast and simmer.
