A method of operating a wireless charging device in an electric vehicle, the wireless charging device configured to wirelessly receive power via a wireless field generated by a transmitter, the method comprising: detecting a system fault indicative of one or more faults in the wireless charging device in the electric vehicle or in the transmitter; mapping the detected system fault to a fault severity level from a plurality of fault severity levels based on a type of the system fault detected, wherein the plurality of fault severity levels progressively escalate in severity from a lowest severity level to a highest severity level due to repeated occurrence of a system fault and wherein a total number of types of system faults is greater than a total number of the plurality of fault severity levels; and performing one or more system fault response operations based on the determined fault severity level, wherein each of the plurality of fault severity levels is associated with a different set of system fault response operations; wherein said performing one or more system fault response operations comprises: when a first fault severity level is determined, providing a notification via a user interface and clearing the fault severity level; when a second fault severity level is determined, clearing the fault severity level without providing the notification; when a third fault severity level is determined, providing the notification, receiving an input via the user interface, and clearing the fault severity level in response to the input; and when a fourth fault severity level is determined, providing the notification and refraining from clearing the fault severity level. detecting a system fault indicative of one or more faults in the wireless charging device in the electric vehicle or in the transmitter; mapping the detected system fault to a fault severity level from a plurality of fault severity levels based on a type of the system fault detected, wherein the plurality of fault severity levels progressively escalate in severity from a lowest severity level to a highest severity level due to repeated occurrence of a system fault and wherein a total number of types of system faults is greater than a total number of the plurality of fault severity levels; and performing one or more system fault response operations based on the determined fault severity level, wherein each of the plurality of fault severity levels is associated with a different set of system fault response operations; wherein said performing one or more system fault response operations comprises: when a first fault severity level is determined, providing a notification via a user interface and clearing the fault severity level; when a second fault severity level is determined, clearing the fault severity level without providing the notification; when a third fault severity level is determined, providing the notification, receiving an input via the user interface, and clearing the fault severity level in response to the input; and when a fourth fault severity level is determined, providing the notification and refraining from clearing the fault severity level. when a first fault severity level is determined, providing a notification via a user interface and clearing the fault severity level; when a second fault severity level is determined, clearing the fault severity level without providing the notification; when a third fault severity level is determined, providing the notification, receiving an input via the user interface, and clearing the fault severity level in response to the input; and when a fourth fault severity level is determined, providing the notification and refraining from clearing the fault severity level.
