I do have one those glass top ranges at home. Wife will never let us go back to conventional element type, hated cleaning those drip pans underneath and the glass top is easy to keep clean. They are not great to cook on though IMO. Takes forever to bring a pot to boil in comparison to conventional element. If you leave control on high setting to heat something up faster, you really need to watch it. It will take forever to heat up, but if not paying attention it will burn your food items easily once it does get heated up. Problem with this type of top is HI is not indefinite on like it is on conventional element, it still cycles on and off, I suppose to keep the glass top from being overheated and cracking it.

I bet they would be even worse to cook on if supplied with 208 volts.

Nameplate on mine does have rating for both voltages though.

I actually have table top electric skillet I like to cook with, heats faster and actually has a thermostat control so when it reaches setpoint it backs off.

I have a glass top with elements marked “Turbo boil”.
It heats up super quick and boils water extremely fast.
Its two elements interwound that are controlled individually. Works like any other burner until you put it on turbo boil.

I do have one of the surface elements marked "quick boil" and that one will heat faster than the others, but still not anywhere near as fast as a conventional type element does.
 
Just to mention it, a 240v resistive element uses almost exactly 75% of its rated power when powered at 208v.
