adjust a charging characteristic of the wireless charger based, at least in part, on one of the on-board information or the report.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the on-board information includes one or more of diagnostic information, vehicle make and model, vehicle identification number, customer information for a user associated with the vehicle, payment information, and authorization information associated with the user.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the report includes one or more of a diagnostic report, targeted offerings, and invoices or receipts.

10. An apparatus comprising:

a low-power wireless transceiver configured to communicate with an on-board control unit of a vehicle over a low-power wireless connection, wherein the low-power wireless connection is configured to utilize a low-power wireless communication protocol;

a processor;

non-transitory computer readable media comprising instructions executable by the processor to:

establish, via the low-power wireless transceiver, the low-power wireless connection with the on-board control unit;

obtain, via the low-power wireless connection, on-board information associated with the vehicle from the on-board control unit;

transmit, via a network device, the on-board information to a diagnostic server;

receive, via the network device, a report from the diagnostic server based on the on-board information;

provide, via the low-power wireless transceiver, the report to be displayed; and

adjust a charging characteristic of a wireless charger based on at least one of the on-board information or the report.

11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the report includes, wherein the instructions are further executable by the processor to:

establish, via a first communication network, a second connection to the network device, wherein the network device is coupled to the diagnostic server via a second communication network.

12. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the first communication network is a powerline communication network.

13. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the first communication network is a low-power wireless area network.

14. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the instructions are further executable by the processor to:

receive, via the on-board control unit, on-board information associated with a user; and

adjust a charging characteristic of a wireless charger charging the vehicle based, at least in part, on one of the on-board information or the report.

15. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the on-board information includes one or more of diagnostic information, vehicle make and model, vehicle identification number, customer information for a user associated with the vehicle, payment information, and authorization information associated with the user.

16. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the instructions are further executable by the processor to:

provide, via the low-power wireless transceiver, one or more of a diagnostic report, targeted offerings, and invoices or receipts, based on at least one of the on-board information or the report.

17. A method comprising:

establishing, via a low-power wireless device, a low-power wireless connection with an on-board control unit of a vehicle, wherein the low-power wireless connection is configured to utilize a low-power wireless communication protocol;

obtaining, via the low-power wireless device, on-board information associated with the vehicle, from the on-board control unit, over the low-power wireless connection;

transmitting, via the low-power wireless device, on-board information to a network device;

transmitting, via the network device, the on-board information to a diagnostic server;

receiving, via the network device, a report from the diagnostic server based on the on-board information; and
