The only way wireless charging is 8x better for the battery makes sense is if it's charging at 1/8th the max speed (even then, probably not a linear relationship between C rate and degradation - so perhaps even less).Hmmm... they have this on the graphic about the benefits of wireless charging:

I don't understand how the power delivery mechanism would affect battery life... the energy ultimately arrives at the cells via wires, so unless there's some benefit they are claiming about some other aspect of their charging system (charge curve, reduced power delivery, multiple charging locations to keep the battery SOC in a narrow range thus avoiding extremes such as for busses, etc..) then this seems like a dubious claim. Actually "8x" is a pretty grand claim, regardless...
Naively assuming this is "8x" vs 250kW supercharging, then they're boasting of around 30kW charge speed... if that.
