Abstract: An example operation includes one or more of: predicting that an event related to an electric grid will affect an area comprising at least one of a first location or a second location; ranking the first and second locations in the area based on a first electricity need at the first location and a second electricity need at the second location, to determine a highest-ranking location with a greatest electricity need among the first location and the second location; determining a vehicle type based upon the greatest electricity need; and dispatching a vehicle of the vehicle type to the highest-ranking location prior to or during the event.

Abstract: An example operation includes one or more of determining groups of electric transports in an area that will have an available stored charge at a future time; verifying that one or more of the groups of electric transports are connected to an energy receiving module in the area immediately prior to the future time; and initiating a transfer of the available stored charge at the future time, wherein the future time is related to an energy demand of an electric grid being greater than a threshold.

Abstract: An example operation includes one or more of retrieving a first amount of energy, by an originating transport, of a minimum amount of energy on a target transport, based on an expended energy by the originating transport to reach a meeting location, provide a needed service, and an estimated expended energy by the originating transport to return to an original location, and retrieving a second amount of energy, by the originating transport, of the minimum amount of energy on the target transport, based on a factor related to providing the service, wherein the factor is greater than the expended energy and the estimated expended energy.
