Systems for deterring improper fueling and charging of vehicles at vehicle fueling and electrical charging stations, respectively, are provided. Each system includes a stationary communication device configured to receive wireless signals transmitted by a mobile communication device located proximate its station. Each signal contains identification data. A plurality of pushbutton switch assemblies are included at each station. Each of the assemblies is manually operable to allow a customer to initiate a fuel dispensing or charging transaction. One or more sensory indicators are located at each station and are configured to provide an alert to assist the customer to make a proper selection of either fuel or charging connector. A controller or processor is configured to determine the proper grade or type of fuel by processing the identification data and to activate or alter the one or more sensory indicators thereby assisting the customer in his or her selection process.
