To anyone else, it looked like a shrunken crossover, halfway between a hatchback and a coupe. But Léa knew better. She was the lead validation engineer for Peugeot’s secret “Project E-Minimum” — a car designed to use 50% less battery material than any EV on the market.
They rolled out onto the closed circuit at Mortefontaine. Malik punched the accelerator — 0 to 100 km/h in 8.1 seconds. Nothing thrilling, but enough. The real test was range: 450 km from a 35 kWh pack. Half the battery size of a Tesla Model 3.

She overrode the system, rerouted power through redundant pathways she’d coded the night before. The 098E stuttered, then smoothed out. Malik glanced at her. “You just rewrote the BMS live?”

Twenty kilometers in, an alert blinked: Cell 47 thermal deviation .
They completed 380 km before the simulated cargo load demanded a recharge. At a 150 kW charger, the 098E gulped from 10% to 80% in 18 minutes — not class-leading, but efficient enough to make small batteries viable. They rolled out onto the closed circuit at Mortefontaine
The 098E’s secret wasn’t in its motors. It was in its chassis: a structural battery pack that doubled as the frame, and solar panels laminated into the roof, hood, and doors. The “E” stood for économie — economy of resources, not just energy.
