I've never heard of electric being faster at boiling water than gas.
You either have a very poor gas stove or you moved to a much higher elevation where boiling water is just flat-out takes longer.

I'm in the UK though, maybe it's something to do with having 230v supply?
So built-in stoves or cooktops will take 240V but a portable single burner induction cooktop would likely only use 120V.
With cooking it's all about efficiency of heat transfer, latency of power change, and flexibility of pan lifting between the three types of hobs (electric resistive, induction, gas).
The efficiency of electric resistive and gas is poor, induction is great.
The latency of power change of electric resistive is poor, induction and gas are great.
Flexibility of pan lifting of electric resistive and induction are poor (lift more than a couple of centimetres and you have no heat), gas is good.
