It is very possible that the plastic urn will leach BPA's. There is currently huge concerns in the USA over plastic feeding bottles leaching BPA's when heated, it is claimed that the leaching rises 55 times it normal levels when heated.
Plastic is a good insulator of heat, meaning heat can't flow through it very well. So a plastic handle on a kettle doesn't conduct heat through it and this means you don't get burnt when handling it.
A kettle is typically made of stainless steel, glass, or ceramic. The handle may be made of plastic or heat-resistant material for easy gripping. Some kettles also have metal parts for heating elements.
The 'Polyput' kettle was available in the mid 60s; -I had one. It had a bulbous cream coloured body. and the whistle fitted in a lid at the end of the wide spout; For filling there was a button on the handle which opened this lid
Kettle feet are typically made of plastic because it is lightweight, durable, and resistant to moisture, which can help prevent rust or corrosion. Plastic feet also provide a non-slip grip and are generally cost-effective to produce.
An electric kettle is typically made up of stainless steel, glass, or plastic for the main body. It also includes a heating element to boil the water, a power base with controls, and a handle for easy pouring. Some kettles also have additional features like a water level indicator and automatic shut-off for safety.

Most plastic do not conduct heat very well, This makes it ideal for handles on pans which makes it Thermoset.

Very - probably well over 90%. An electric kettle is very efficient, especially if the body is made from plastic rather than metal; almost all of the electrical energy used goes into heating the contents rather than the container. A metal bodied kettle used on a gas stove would be significantly less efficient.
it depends on what the handle is made from..if its wood or plastic then no .. but if its metal or tin then it will be a conductor.. xxx
A piece of plastic over a boiling kettle will collect the steam (evaporated water) and it will condense.
