We just replaced a gas water heater with an electric one and now have low hot water pressure. Does anyone know what we may have done wrong?

Do you have low pressure everywhere or just one faucet? I don't think you did anything wrong. What I think is that you might have disturbed some minerals built up o0n the pipe walls that may be blocking the flow. If you installed heat trap nipples, (see image) that could also be the cause.
Have you removed an aerator or two to check the screens for trash? Let me know, Tom

Good answer, also how is the hot flow from the drain spigot? If you haver great flow from the drain the pressure is prrsent but can't get out due to some restriction like Tom is thinking
