Even if you just leave it sitting in the background with one tab open, Chrome uses more power than Safari. I'm currently measuring an "Energy Impact" of 1.9 vs 0.1 for that test.
I don't have any hard data for Electron apps, but my experience is that they're worse than their native counterparts. For example, Spotify (playing offline files) vs iTunes.
A JS+HTML application will be slower than a C++ application that uses the OS's native UI toolkit, and therefore will consume more battery.
