This is a resounding NO to electric woks.  For a good many stir-fry
dishes, a very hot wok is required.  Electric woks can get up to
the needed temperatures, but don't have enough heat output to keep
up, once the food is added.

I've had good result with a wok on both electric and gas stoves (tho'
gas is always my preference).

Also, I might recommend a wooden-handled wok.  When the wok gets hot,
it beats fumbling for a pot holder.
