Mopar president and CEO Pietro Gorlier said an integrated power bin is installed just below the centre stack and in front of the centre console. The bin has a built-in charging grid that is activated when customers place in their battery-powered device.

In the US the wireless charging system will be available for US$199.99 plus installation.
