Claim 3:
4. A method for determining a position of a vehicle having an energy storage device that is chargeable by a charging module arranged in a vicinity of the vehicle, comprising the steps of:
assigning a first detected reflected light beam by a camera system to a left digital headlight of the vehicle with a first angle;
assigning a second detected reflected light beam by the camera system to a right digital headlight of the vehicle with a second angle; and
trigonometrically determining a distance of the vehicle from the charging module in a direction of a longitudinal axis of the vehicle and an offset in a transverse direction with respect to the longitudinal axis on a basis of the first and second angles and a distance between the left digital headlight and the right digital headlight.
