In the anime

Electrium Z in the anime

In Alola to New Adventure!, Ash received an Electrium Z with his Z-Ring from Tapu Koko. It shattered after Ash performed Gigavolt Havoc with Pikachu in the following episode.

In Trial and Tribulation!, Ash obtained another Electrium Z from Tapu Koko. It had swapped it with the Fightinium Z he was supposed to receive from Hala as a reward for completing his Melemele grand trial. Uniquely, this specific Z-Crystal has the ability to turn into Pikashunium Z. Both the reason and cause for transformation is unknown.

A full set of replicas of the type-specific Z-Crystals, including the Electrium Z, appeared in A Team-on-Team Tussle!, where they were shown to Ash and his classmates by Professor Kukui.
