just for clarification but can a unit give itself an aim token via electrobinoculars?

The Binos give you spotter 1. And the rule for spotter is:

Choose up to X friendly units at range 1. Each chosen unit gains an aim token.

Since it doesn't say "another friendly unit" the commander carrying the binos can give an aim token to himself (cause he is a friendly unit and in range 1 of himself).
