So before I start writing down why I believe this will happen,let's see what electric terrain does :
Electric Terrain creates terrain that envelops the field and replaces the background environment and any other terrain that is already in effect. The terrain fades after five turns.
This terrain has the following effects on Pokémon that are on the ground and not in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move.
It prevents affected Pokémon from being afflicted by sleep or Yawn.
If an affected Pokémon is already drowsy due to Yawn, it is prevented from falling asleep.
Rest will fail if used by an affected Pokémon.
It increases the damage done by Electric-type moves used by affected Pokémon by 50% (regardless of whether the target of the move is affected by Electric Terrain).
If Electric Terrain is in effect, Nature Power becomes Thunderbolt, Secret Power uses the animation of Thunder Shock and may cause paralysis, and Camouflage causes the user to become Electric-type. Natural objects disappear and cannot be destroyed while Electric Terrain is in effect.
Electric Terrain also activates the Ability Surge Surfer.(When the battlefield is under the effects of Electric Terrain, Surge Surfer doubles the Speed of Pokémon with this Ability.)
From what we see here while electric terrain wasn't really used during ORAS since the only thing it did was boost electric type moves(when the ORAS meta focuses on not only have strong pokemon but fast too).
Using electric terrain just to boost your pokemon electric attacks was kind of a waste of turn.
But with the ability Surge Surfer during electric terrain we don't have only a boost in Attack but in Speed too!That could be extremely useful in doubles where you could have a pokemon do electric terrain while Raichu is using Protect to ensure you will be at full HP to get the boosts.
After that we can easily say Raichu would be a considerable threat if used correctly especially if we take in account the Z-Moves too.
So what are your thoughts about it?I certainly think it will be one of the most used pokemon at least in the beggining if not during the whole meta of the game!
