Abstract: An example operation includes one or more of determining, by a transport at a first location, that the transport is not in use, determining, by the transport, a second location to transfer energy stored in the transport, maneuvering, by the transport, to the second location, discharging, by the transport, the stored energy to the second location, and maneuvering, by the transport, to the first location.

Abstract: An example operation includes one or more of determining, by a server, needed energy at a building of a plurality of buildings served by a microgrid and providing, by the server, a portion of the needed energy to the building using a priority. The portion and the priority are based on an availability of alternate sources of energy at the building as compared with alternate sources of energy at other buildings of the plurality of buildings.

Abstract: An example operation includes one or more of directing, by a transport, another transport in need of a first amount of charge to an off-grid stationary battery, providing, by the transport, a second amount of charge to the off-grid stationary battery, and notifying, by the transport, the another transport to retrieve the first amount of charge, wherein the first amount of charge is less than the second amount of charge.

Abstract: An example operation includes one or more of receiving, by a server, an energy transfer request from a charging station, determining, by the server, a current priority level of the at least one transport within an accessible range of the charging station, and responsive to the current priority level being below a threshold, sending an instruction to the at least one transport to transfer energy to the charging station based on the energy transfer request.

Abstract: An example operation includes one or more of receiving a first energy, at a target transport, from a charging station at a first value during a first amount of time, and the target transport and the charging station are physically connected, and receiving a second energy, at the target transport, from a providing transport at a second value greater than the first value during a second amount of time less than the first amount of time, and the target transport and the providing transport are wirelessly connected.

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.

Abstract: An example operation includes one or more of determining, by a server, a location where a first transport will run out of energy, determining, by the server, a first amount of energy needed by a second transport to maneuver to the first transport at an intermediate location prior to the location and to wirelessly provide a second amount of energy to the first transport, wherein the first transport and the second transport are in motion, and instructing, by the server, the second transport to wirelessly provide the second amount of energy at the intermediate location.

Abstract: An example operation includes one or more of initiating, by a transport, a request to provide a first portion of stored energy to a charging station, determining, by the charging station, an actual amount of energy needed by the transport, wherein the determining is based on a first destination of the transport and on data received by the charging station based on a route associated with the first destination, wherein the actual amount of energy is not the same amount as the first portion of stored energy, and depositing, by the transport, the actual amount of energy in the charging station.
