It's because you imported only the Legacy (P2PKH) format addresses. Unlike Mycelium, electrum supports creation/importation of only one address script type at a time.

In electrum, it's possible to have a single wallet with all three types of addresses (Legacy, nested segwit and native segwit addresses)
Look at the image below.

Below is the result.

If you import your wallet using the SegWit native (Bech32) option you will be able to see your unspent outputs in the segwit addresses ( I assume you have the seed phrase to your mycelium HD wallet)

I have a Mycelium wallet with a Bitcoin SA (Single Account). There are three addresses, and on the Legacy (P2PKH) and the SegWit native (Bech32) addresses there is unspent outputs.
I have imported the private key of this SA to different wallet (Electrum), but it only shows the unspent output on the Legacy address.

I don't understand why the SegWit native address unspent output is not available to me in the Electrum wallet.
Are the two different addresses not derived from the same key pair?
Can I somehow inform Electrum of the SegWit native address?

Edit: So... right after posting this, I found an explanation here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.49195127
