Peugeot offers a glimpse into electric future at CES

Peugeot, a French marque of multinational car company Stellantis, showcased a concept that embodies its vision for future electric vehicles at the just concluded CES held in Las Vegas, the United States.

The concept, called Inception,will inspire Peugeot's future products from 2025, with the goal of bringing most of its innovations to production, said the brand.

Based on the STLA Large platform, the model is powered by a 100kWh battery providing a range of 800 kilometers on one charge.

Its electric motors produce almost 500 kW and enable the concept to accelerate from 0-100 km/hour in under three seconds.

The model also features 800V technology, enabling it to add 93 miles of range in just five minutes, and is capable of wireless induction charging.

Peugeot said the concept is a showcase of the new techniques the brand will introduce to become fully carbon-neutral by 2038.

The brand's entire lineup will be electrified in 2023, and five fully electric models will hit the market in the next two years.

Linda Jackson, CEO of the Peugeot brand, said: "Our ambition is simple: to make Peugeot the leading electric brand in Europe by 2030."

The brand is stepping up its electrification efforts in all major markets, including China, the world's largest market for new energy vehicles.

Last week, Gregoire Olivier, chief operating officer of Stellantis China, said more electrified vehicles will be introduced into China from 2023 via its joint venture Dongfeng Peugeot Citroen.
