The innovation here is that they have removed some of the mechanical charging components from the system. In current cars you need a power inverter and a means to distribute the power to each battery.
Stellantis engineers have found a way to directly charge without the need for either part, and control more of the system through software.
It's a nice evolutionary leap that should spur other innovations.
The effect on the cars weight is under 100 pounds, and the mileage gain is around 2 extra miles of driving. So it's not really about that. It is about rethinking batteries.
