Here's a link to a commercial induction wok burner:

Not something you'd use in a home setting, but neither are the ones you linked. It does list a "BTU equivalent" but you need to remember that induction burners put over 90% of the heat into the pan, and gas burners are rated for BTU "input" not actual output.

Induction is used to smelt ore. You can certainly get enough heat from induction if it can be used to melt metals. It's mostly a question of how much electrical capacity you have.
