Through a vacuum it can reach the speed of light. However, travelling through something else (such as in electricity) it will be slowed significantly.

It is known to vary.
But it certainly never reaches the speed of light because electrons have a non-zero mass.

Because the position of an individual electron cannot be determined I would think that speed would also be indeterminant, but I am not a physicist so could be wrong

The theoritcal limit of the speed of electrons is c, but it is limited based upon the element used and the material that the electrons travel through, which will affect its speed.
But in general, the speed of an ectron is faster than you and perhaps 1/3 c, but it varies.

Shockingly, it's quite fast!
