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 determining a usage of an internal combustible engine (ICE) vehicle and a usage of an electric vehicle over a period of time, where the vehicles are associated with an entity, determining an impact of carbon output, based on the usage determination, determining a usage amount of the electric vehicle to offset the impact, when the impact is greater than a first threshold, and sending a notification to a device associated with the entity, where the notification includes the amount of usage of the electric vehicle.

Abstract: An example operation includes one or more of maneuvering, by a Mobile Energy Storage Unit (MESU), to a transport that is stationary for an amount of time, that is not currently being charged, that is at a distance between the transport and the MESU and that is within a timeframe for the MESU to reach the transport, and retrieving, by MESU, a minimum amount of energy from the transport.
