Abstract

A method for carrying out a charging operation for a vehicle at a charging station includes detecting a request for a charging operation on an electronic communication device and determining position data that indicates the position of the communication device. The method also includes determining whether a wireless connection exists between the communication device and the vehicle, where the wireless connection is based on a short-distance communication method with a nominal range. The method additionally includes determining a number of possible charging stations and/or a number of possible vehicles subject to the position data and nominal range.
