French - No
electric - Maybe yes, but I don't know for sure. But the manufacturer produced cars with both electric and gasoline engines.
1898 - Yes

The answer you're looking for is AMG (Allgemeine Motorwagen-Gesellschaft).

However, this is actually described as a 3-seater brougham by Headland's Patent Electric Storage Battery Company Ltd (UK) with 3 HP electric motor, which was being exhibited by AMG.
Quote
Auch den elektrischen Wagen hat die Allgemeine Motorwagen- Gesellschaft ihr Augenmerk zugewendet und stellt den in seiner Art als hervorragendes Fabrikat zu bezeichnenden amerikanischen Columbia - MotorWagen der Pope Manufacturing Company und einen Brougham der Headland's Patent Electric Storage Battery Company Ltd aus.

Der Brougham (Fig. 1 ), für 3 Personen, ist mit Akkumulatoren von 140 Ampèrestd Kapazität und einem 3 HP Elektromotor ausgestattet. Das besonders Beachtenswerthe ist hier, dass der Motor am Vordertheil des Wagens untergebracht ist und seine Bewegung durch Ketten auf die vorderen Räder übersetzt, während gleichzeitig das ganze Vordergestell des Wagens sammt Motor behufs Lenkung um eine vertikale Mittelachse drehbar ist.

According to Google Translate:

The Allgemeine Motorwagen-Gesellschaft has also turned its attention to electric cars and is exhibiting the American Columbia Motor Car from the Pope Manufacturing Company, which can be described as an outstanding product, and a Brougham from the Headland's Patent Electric Storage Battery Company Ltd.

The Brougham (Fig. 1), for 3 people, is equipped with batteries with a capacity of 140 amps and a 3 HP electric motor. What is particularly noteworthy here is that the engine is housed in the front part of the car and its movement is transmitted to the front wheels by chains, while at the same time the entire front frame of the car including the engine can be rotated about a vertical central axis for steering.
