The invention relates to a sonic triangulation method for locating vehicles for hands-free electric vehicle charging. A charging system for charging the vehicle includes a charging station and the vehicle. The charging station includes a wireless charging coil, a sonic receiver oriented to receive sonic signals generated proximate the coil, and a first wireless communications device. The vehicle includes a charge plate, a first emitter configured to generate a first sonic signal, a second wireless communications device in communication with the first wireless communication device, an in-vehicle display, and at least one controller. The controller is configured to present positional information via the display. The positional information corresponds to a vehicle position detected in response to the first sonic signal being received by the sonic receiver.
