Some prayer wheels are powered by electric motors. {{Transliteration|bo|Thardo 'khorlo}}, as these electric wheels are sometimes known, contain one thousand copies of the mantra of Chenrezig and many copies of other mantras. The {{Transliteration|bo|thardo 'khorlo}} can be accompanied by lights and music if one so chooses.{{citation needed|date=November 2021}}

Electricity can certainly be considered similar to the above sources of energy for PW (water, fire, wind). The merit generated by the PW is due to the power of the Dharma Texts and Mantras; not necessarily the "power" which rotates them. These PW turn all day, all night, all through the year. The Lamas and practitioners who build, maintain and pay for the electricity rightly help to generate and dedicate the merit.{{citation needed|date=November 2021}}
