Factual error: Towards the end of the film, Spiderman takes his web and uses it to connect to the different power conduits that Electro blew open, ties them together, and power the city back up. Electricity uses several different wires, and crossing them would cause things to blow up or short out. What should have happened when Gwen threw the switch was another power failure, instead of the city's power being restored.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Marc Webb
Starring: Jamie Foxx, Sally Field, Emma Stone, Andrew Garfield, Dane DeHaan
Peter learns his father used his own blood to modify spiders, and only people in his bloodline can be enhanced properly. Harry is injected with venom extracted from the modified spiders. Gwen and Peter make up. They overload Electro, who appears to explode and vanish. Harry arrives wearing combat weaponry and deduces that Peter is Spider-Man. During the ensuing fight, Gwen falls. Peter shoots a web to save her but she dies either from the kickback from the web or her head hitting the ground. Harry is held in Ravencroft and hatches plans to form the Sinister Six with Gustav Fiers. After finally listening to Gwen's graduation speech, Peter decides to come back as Spider-Man.

Aunt May: What happened to your face? It's filthy
Peter Parker: It is?
Aunt May: Yeah!
Peter: Oh yeah, I was cleaning, the chimney.
Aunt May: We have no chimney.
Peter Parker: Whaaat?
Trivia: Spoiler alert! The way Gwen Stacy dies in the movie is almost exactly the way she does in the comics. The differences are that in the movie, she falls through a clock tower instead of off a bridge, and she hits her head on the ground as it snaps back, instead of just her head snapping back in mid air. She's even wearing the same outfit as she does in the comics.

Answer: Peter didn't set out to kill Electro, but he has to stop him somehow. Overloading him is pretty much all Peter has to work with in terms of stopping Electro's rampage. He doesn't know what effect it will have on his opponent, but he hopes that it will serve to stop him in his tracks, which it does. Had Peter set out with the specific intention of killing Max, that would indeed have been wildly out of character, but he didn't - he simply did what he had to do to stop him. It's unlikely that Max is actually dead anyway; it's well known that Sony intend to bring the Sinister Six into play in upcoming movies and Electro has been a key member of most incarnations of that team, making it highly likely that he'll be back.
