Set a cap on how much electricity she can absorb, which in turn sets a cap on how powerful the bolts she shoots out are. The short range helps keep it within a good power limit, as it means she has to get close to use it. And rather than having to concentrate or risk electrocuting herself, I'd say that she has to focus or all the power just fizzles out into nothing and she has to reabsorb electricity.
