A controller may control operation of the charging system by causing a motor to rotate to charge the vehicle. The controller can receive vehicle identity data and vehicle permission data. The controller can determine whether the vehicle has permission to be charged based on the permission data. The controller can initiate a charging sequence based on vehicle data including the vehicle identity data. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A computing system for charging a vehicle using power generation or regeneration devices of the vehicle, the computing system comprising: one or more processors configured to execute program instructions to cause a computing system to: access vehicle data, the vehicle data indicating an identity of a vehicle to be charged by a charging system;
