No, a standard electric stove will be wired with 50 amp receptacle and plug. In fact there is no such thing as a receptacle and plug configuration for 40 amp 240 volt wiring. That's why 24 inch "apartment size" electric stoves will have 40 amp fuses and breakers, but will still use the standard 50 amp range cords and receptacles for 30 inch "residential size" electric stoves.
