Question Cruise altitude for electric airplanes.

Electric airliners are presumably going to be a reality at some point in the future.

When engine efficiency considerations are no longer a factor, will there be any effect on the optimum cruise altitude for such aircraft? Would high Flight Levels still be the best? My aerodynamic knowledge has become somewhat rusty.
