This paper reports a three-component, reductive cascade, cross-coupling reaction for the arylalkylation of alkynes, yielding a wide range of trisubstituted alkenes with excellent chemo- and stereoselectivity. Electrochemistry with nickel produces the *E* isomer exclusively, while photocatalysis with nickel yields the *Z* isomer. A photo-assisted electrochemically enabled nickel-catalyzed protocol selectively delivers *Z*-trisubstituted alkenes without added photocatalysts.
