Even light can be made to slow down by making it go through a certain (dense?) mediums. So, yes.
-edit : Light doesn't slow down, the speed of light is a constant. What is observed is the increase in time for absorption and re-emittance of the photon (light) which causes the apparent slow down. As for electrons, yes I believe they can be slowed down with interactions.

If the question deals with electrons in orbit around an atom, then the answer is NO. Not by themselves.
Energy is in fact lost in chunks, called quanta. In the macroscopic world, however, these chunks are so small that when energy appears to be lost or gained continuously when in fact it is changing in immeasurably small increments. So, a satellite in orbit loses quanta and gradually slows down.
At the atomic level, however, energy behaves very differently. Individual quanta are significant at this scale. An electron cannot keep continually slowing down, if it loses even one quanta it is a relatively huge change. So, at that scale the electrons do not slow down autonomously. However, they can be slowed down by interactions

Can gravels slow down the speed of the river?
Gravel cannot slow down a river because rivers flow in all sorts of angles and speed.
The of a circuit tends to slow down the movement of electrons?
The "impedance" of a circuit slows down the movement of electrons. This can be resistive, reactive or a combination of both.
Can you slow down electrons in order to store renewable energy sources?
There are two parts to this: "Can you slow down electrons" - yes, that's possible; electron transport moves at different speeds in different materials. "in order to store renewable energy sources" - that's essentially nonsense.
Special load in a circuit that slows down the flow of electrons?
Loads do not 'slow down' electron flow. They effect the magnitude of a current, not its speed!
How fast an electric current flow in a circuit?

What is the ability of a substance to oppose or slow down electric current?
Insulators typically slow the movement of electrons through an electric current. Bad conductors, such as rubber, can be used to slow, stop, and/or redirect electric current.CommentInsulators do not 'slow down', 'stop', or 'redirect' current! Simply put, insulators don't have enough charge carriers to support conduction.
Do electrons move slow or fast around the nucleus?
Electrons do not move fast.
Why do Slow down and slow up mean the same?
I think you mean slow down and speed up. slow down =slow, speed up=fast
