Abstract: An example operation includes one or more of sensing that a transport in a group is performing at an efficiency below a threshold and modifying at least one other transport in the group to perform at an efficiency above the threshold, wherein the efficiency above the threshold is similar to efficiency below the threshold, wherein the modification occurs at a final portion of a route of the at least one other transport.

Abstract: An example operation includes one or more of determining, via a transport, a state of charge of a storage unit of the transport, determining, via the transport, an environment at a location, determining, via the transport, a status of a charging station at the location including at least one of a location energy cost and a location power level and providing, via the transport, a needed amount of energy to the charging station at the location based on the status of the charging station.

Abstract: An example operation includes one or more of storing, in a battery at a location, a first amount of charge at a time of elevated energy use, and using a second amount of charge equivalent to the first amount at another location at a second time, after the time, when energy use is greater than the elevated energy use.

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.

Abstract: An example operation includes one or more of determining an estimated arrival time of a first transport to a charging station, determining an estimated remaining stored transport energy at the estimated arrival time of the first transport, notifying the first transport to provide a portion of the determined remaining stored transport energy and when a next transport is delayed to the charging station, notifying the first transport to provide an additional portion of the determined remaining stored transport energy based on the delay.

Abstract: An example operation includes one or more of establishing a communication channel between a computing system associated with a plurality of available power sources and a transport comprising a rechargeable battery that is configured to power the transport, determining a value of charge power for the rechargeable battery, generating a request that identifies the value of charge power in a first field and identifies a power source in a second field from among a plurality of available power sources to source the charge power for the rechargeable battery, and transmitting the request from the transport to a computing system via the established communication channel.
