You are opening a can of worms talking about the speed of flow of actual
electrons or charges...

What do you mean by "electricity"? Voltage flows at the speed of light
(in an uninsulated wire, somewhat slower in an insulated wire), and
current typically flows at a quite leisurely pace. It is just like
water, water pressure flows at the speed of sound (in water, about 1500
meter per second), but the water itself can flow at very slow rates,
like the water in a pipe feeding a dripping faucet might flow at a rate
of only an inch or so a day..
