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.
Claims17
A method, comprising:
- receiving a first energy, at a target transport, from a charging station at a first value during a first amount of time, wherein the target transport and the charging station are physically connected;
- determining, by the target transport, a threshold amount of time for the first energy to be received;
- when the threshold amount of time has been exceeded, moving one or more of the target transport and a providing transport proximate to one another;
- and
- receiving a second energy, at the target transport, from the providing transport at a second value greater than the first value during a second amount of time less than the first amount of time, wherein the target transport and the providing transport e wirelessly connected.
A system;
- comprising:
- a target transport configured to receive a first energy from a charging station at a first value during a first amount of time, wherein the target transport and the charging station are physically connected;
- and
- wherein the target transport comprises a processor configured to determine a threshold amount of time for the first energy to be received, and when the threshold amount of time has been exceeded, move one or more of the target transport and a providing transport proximate to one another;
- and
- the providing transport configured to provide a second energy to the target transport at a second value greater than the first value during a second amount of time less than the first amount of time, wherein the target transport and the providing transport are wirelessly connected.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform:
- receiving a first energy, at a target transport, from a charging station at a first value during a first amount of time, wherein the target transport and the charging station are physically connected;
- determining, by the target transport, a threshold amount of time for the first energy to be received;
- when the threshold amount of time has been exceeded, moving one or more of the target transport and a providing transport proximate to one another;
- and
- receiving a second energy, at the target transport, from the providing transport at a second value greater than the first value during a second amount of time less than the first amount of time, wherein the target transport and the providing transport are wirelessly connected.
