This disclosure relates to systems and methods for providing haptic feedback to a driver when aligning an electrified vehicle to charging equipment in preparation for charging events. Haptic feedback may be provided at the vehicle steering wheel to guide the driver on a correct travel path both laterally and longitudinally relative to the charging equipment. In some embodiments, the haptic feedback is provided at the steering wheel in the form of distinguishable pulsing patterns that alert the driver how the travel path should change for properly aligning the vehicle to the charging equipment. In other embodiments, the haptic feedback is provided in the form of tactile cues, such as making it more difficult for the driver to rotate the steering wheel in a direction that would render the vehicle less aligned to the charging equipment.
