To protect a charging station LS against improper use, a second identification feature ID2 is also checked in addition to a first identification feature ID 1. The charging process is only authorized or continued if the check of the second identification feature ID2 was also successful. The authentication or authorization is thus implemented in a low-threshold manner by means of an additional authentication, in which a weak identification is supplemented by one or more further automatic identifications, which can also be checked continuously. This means that an authorized and genuine user does not incur any additional expense, while at the same time any damage caused by behavior in breach of contract by authorized users can be greatly reduced. Related system and methods for protecting against unauthorized use are also disclosed.
