We haven't found any intimate link yet.

The one thing you CAN say is that electrical fields carry energy and energy couples to gravity. So they are related somewhat.

But we can't do much better than that at the moment even though unifying E&M and gravity was a project of Einstein and many other folks.

Bekki B is correct, but you can take a look at the fascinating Kaluza-Klein theory if you have a couple of minutes to spare.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaluza-Klein_theory

By a adding a fifth dimension to space-time and then compactifying it (hey, it doesn't seem to be around anyway). The field equations now separate into the gravitational and electromagnetic field equations

The drawback is the appearance of an additional scalar field. Intriguing, to say the least.
