We are interested in electron cinetic in a stellar atmosphere, in order to validate (or infirm) the widely spread hypothesis of electron thermalisation. In this goal, we determine the velocity distribution of electrons, solving their kinetic equation, together with the transfer and statistical equilibrium equations. We find that the electron velocity distribution may depart significantly from a maxwellian, when important departures from LTE exist. Some results and astrophysical consequences will be examined.
