Electrons aren't massless...
Constant #03 on my calculator reports the accepted rest mass of the electron as 9.1093897 x10-31 kg.

Very small, certainly, but still worth a half-million electron volts of energy.

The e=mc2 is the rest energy when you plug in the rest mass. If you fling the object, then the you have to add on the energy you just added.
