Parts & Vessels Electricity still consumed by ion engines after switching on Infinite Electricity (Electricity is considered "fuel" by the ion engine and is drained as such)

What happened:

The electricity of my spacecraft decreases while the Infinite Electricity button is switched on, when the ion engines are throttled. The electricity is however not consumed when the button Infinite Fuel is switched on.

Expected behavior:

When Infinite Electricity is switched on, the electricity should be infinite whatever the use case. The current behavior is misleading.
