A method for preparing a transmission of energy to a vehicle by an inductive charging system, which has a base plate arranged on a primary side of the charging system and a secondary side arranged in or on the vehicle. A first coil is provided in the base plate and a second coil is provided on the secondary side in a vehicle plate. The method includes energizing the second coil provided on the secondary side from a vehicle-based power source and diagnosing the functionality of components arranged on the secondary side of the inductive charging system by evaluating the energization carried out on the secondary side of the inductive charging system. Also disclosed is a device for preparing a transmission of energy to a vehicle by an inductive charging system.

Method and device for preparing a transmission of energy to a vehicle by means of an inductive charging system

A method for detecting theft of a vehicle, includes the following steps: detecting a vehicle movement by an inductive vehicle charging system, checking the authorization for a detected vehicle movement, and outputting a message signal if an unauthorized vehicle movement is detected. The checking of the authorization for a detected vehicle movement is started after the start of a vehicle charging process.
