They don't get hot enough and if they do, the nonstick coating starts to flake off.

A rolled steel wok is best and you can now get flat bottomed woks that will work fairly well on an electric stove. Or you can get a gas ring that works on bottled gas that will also do the job, which is what I used when woks all had round bottoms. Amazon has big selections of both items.

Electric woks are that wedding gift you get for someone you don't like much. They're counter hogs and they don't work well.
