Alternatively it's possible that in Electrum you pasted the private key without putting p2wpkh: in front of it. If you don't do that then you might generate an address starting with a "1" or "3" instead of native segwit's bc1.

Correct. Full version:

For P2SH-P2WPKH addresses (Addresses starting with "3")
Just add p2wpkh-p2sh: directly in front of your private key.
For example

Code:

p2wpkh-p2sh:5BitcoinPrivateKey

This should generate the corresponding p2wpkh-p2sh bitcoin address.

For P2WPKH addresses (Bech32, starting with 'bc1')
This time we'll add p2wpkh: in front of the private key.
For example

Code:

p2wpkh:5PrivateKey

This should generate the corresponding Bech32 address

It's about time Electrum checks all possible address formats on it's own. I can never remember what to type.
