Electroweak stands for the unification of the electromagnetism and the weak force. The unification energy scale is around 100~200 GeV, the mass scale of the Higgs boson. It is widely accepted to be formulated as a quantum field theory with gauge symmetries of U(1) symmetry in electromagnet forces and SU(2) flavor symmetry in weak forces.

Transformations of electroweak gauge field $W_\mu$ under $U(1)_{e.m.}$
As the vector boson field $W_\mu$ is, together with $Z^0$, the gauge field for the Standard electroweak model, I know it transforms as a connection under the $SU(2)\times U(1)_Y$ group. …

Transformations of electroweak gauge field $W_\mu$ under $U(1)_{e.m.}$
From the previous comments, I'm quite sure $W_\mu$ transforms with a phase-factor.
$$W_\mu \rightarrow e^{i\theta}W_\mu$$
therefore mixing the charged components of the $W$ field.
