Whilst there is no official information, it seems likely that Electric Melee will recycle a number of powers from the Electric Support Blaster secondary, and there is an Electric Armour power in the blaster epic pool (just +res S/L and E).
Electric Melee will do smashing and energy damage, as well as draining end, with some transfared to player.
Elecric Aura will probably be good against energy damage and energy drain. It will probably include a toggle pbaoe that does minor energy damage.
I really should do something about this signature.

I put the following together after having thought about the prospect of Electrical Tankers. Most powers are nicked from Blaster Electricity Manipulation and Electric Mastery, but some come from other sets too. The *'ed powers come mainly from Energy Aura and are to give only an idea of what I think may be implemented.
ELECTRICAL AURA
S/L/E Shield : Charged Armour
Damage Aura : Lightning Field
End Drain : Short Circuit
Dull Pain : Dull Pain, but with a fancy name, like Prevailing Static or something
E/N/F/C Shield : *Power Shield, but for Res
Mez Protection : *Entropy Shield
E/N Passive : *Energies Protection
End Rec : Power Sink
Panic Button : *Overload or EM Pulse
ELECTRICAL MELEE
Single 1 : *Barrage
Single 2 : Charged Brawl
Single 3 : Havoc Punch
Taunt : Taunt
Cone : Static Discharge
Build Up : Build Up
AoE Disorient : Lightning Clap
Hold : Shocking Grasp
Single 4 : Thunder Strike
Big red warning:
THIS IS NOT A LISTING OF THE ACTUAL FORTHCOMING POWERSETS, ITS MY OPINION OF WHAT MIGHT BE IMPLEMENTED.
Its fairly safe to assume I'll be rolling an Electrical Brute when they're available. 
Basically what I was thinking, but Bonsmasher is equivelent to Havoc Punch. The new power will be very quick low damager in the Single 1 slot.
I would bet that 1 or 2 of the electric aura powers give significant resistance to energy drain, ea
ither the mez shield, the passive or the F/C/N/E shield.

Had a thought maybe for mez they have a power like this:
Grounded: +Res mez, NRG, NRG drain -Fly(self)

Aye, thought that myself actually. I think we're talking Energy Melee's Barrage but with elec hands.

Good point. End drain resistance to the max most likely, and a very plausible idea for that power.
