Observations of cosmic ray electrons have made great strides in the last
decade and direct observations of the all-electron flux as well as separate
electron and positron spectra are now available up to ~ 1 TeV. In this invited
contribution to the 2022 edition of the Rencontres de Moriond on Very High
Energy Phenomena in the Universe, we review the data on cosmic ray electron and
positron spectra at TeV energies and offer general comments on their
interpretation. Subsequently, we focus on the study of the stochastic
fluctuations and a secondary model for the positron excess.Comment: Contribution to the 2022 Very High Energy Phenomena in the Universe
