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, by a charging station, a first amount of energy required by a transport for a full charge, determining, by the charging station, a second amount of energy that the transport will provide back to the charging station at a later time, and charging, by the charging station, the transport to a charge level equal to a difference between the first amount of energy and the second amount of energy.

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.

Abstract: An example operation includes one or more of determining a location in an area that may lose electricity during an event related to a grid, conserving energy through a muting of energy consumption at the location, storing the conserved energy in an energy storage device at the location, and using the conserved energy at the location when the event occurs.

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 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.
