• receive an indication that the first signal is associated with an authorized vehicle;
• associate a charging authorization with the transmitter identifier;
• receive a second signal from the wireless transmission device, wherein the second signal indicates the transmitter identifier;
• and
• provide electrical energy to the vehicle based on the charging authorization associated with the transmitter identifier.
