I doubt that an electric fan will save fuel economy over a viscous clutched fan of the appropriate size in hot weather at least.
The electric fan will draw current activating the alternator.
The rbiggest eason, IMHO, most cars have electric fans is that so many now are front drive with transverse engines where a mechanical fan will not work at all.
