That's quite false as there exist many different independent lines of evidence for the existence of electrons beyond modeling the flow of electricity. Are you even aware of who JJ Thomson is? If so, do you understand what he did? And since then there are so many more experiments that can detect single electrons. It would take perverse mental gymnastics to view the dynamic data obtained in some of the dual slit electron diffraction studies to avoid the reality that what is being detected, AKA "seen", are single electrons.
