Chemical stimulus initiates action potential changes in neurones. Thus any stimulus of nerves is electrical.

Neurones send messages electrochemically; this means that chemicals (ions) cause an electrical impulse. Neurones and muscle cells are electrically excitable cells, which means that they can transmit electrical nerve impulses.
