The smallest unit of wiggling electric fields is called the photon (discovered separately from radiation).
But James, the energy is stored in the charge configuration, not the field. You’re playing shell games with us.
The electric field can exist in the absence of charge. The fields wiggle in symbiosis with magnetic fields to make light.
