Abstract
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.
