determining, via the charging station, an adverse condition exists at the charging station causing a delay in an arrival time of a next transport; and responsive to the determining, notifying the first transport to provide an additional portion of the remaining stored energy to the charging station, based on the delay. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the adverse condition at the charging station is based on at least one of a value, a time and a priority. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the additional portion of the remaining stored energy to be provided is based on an energy deficit of the next transport. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the additional portion of the remaining stored energy to be provided is based on an energy deficit of the next transport. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the additional portion of the remaining stored energy to be provided is based on a preset sequence of arrival of the next transport and a plurality of transports. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The method of claim 5, wherein the preset sequence is related to a set of characteristics of the plurality of transports. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The method of claim 6, further comprising replacing at least one of the plurality of transports with at least one other transport having at least one better characteristic of the set of characteristics that is not a part of the plurality of transports. ### Claim 8 A system, comprising: a charging station; and a processor configured to: notify, via the charging station, a first transport to provide a portion of remaining stored energy; determine, via the charging station, an adverse condition exists at the charging station that causes a delay in an arrival time of a next transport; and responsive to the determination, notify the first transport to provide an additional portion of the remaining stored energy to the charging station, based on the delay. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, wherein the adverse condition at the charging station is based on at least one of a value, a time and a priority. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein the additional portion of the remaining stored energy to be provided is based on an energy deficit of the next transport. ### Claim 11 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, wherein the additional portion of the remaining stored energy to be provided is based on an energy deficit of the next transport. ### Claim 12 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, wherein the portion of the estimated remaining stored energy to be provided is based on a preset sequence of arrival of the next transport and a plurality of transports. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The system of claim 12, wherein the preset sequence is related to a set of characteristics of the plurality of transports. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The system of claim 13, further comprising a replacement of at least one of the plurality of transports with at least one other transport having at least one better characteristic of the set of characteristics that is not a part of the plurality of transports. ### Claim 15 A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions, that when read by a processor, cause the processor to perform: notifying, via a charging station, a first transport to provide a portion of remaining stored energy; determining, via the charging station, an adverse condition exists at the charging station causing a delay in an arrival time of a next transport; and responsive to the determining, notifying the first transport to provide an additional portion of the remaining stored energy to the charging station, based on the delay. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15, wherein the adverse condition at the charging station is based on at least one of a value, a time and a priority. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15, wherein the additional portion of the remaining stored energy to be provided is based on an energy deficit of the next transport. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15, the additional portion of the remaining stored energy to be provided is based on an energy deficit of the next transport. ### Claim 19 (depends on 15) The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15, wherein the additional portion of the remaining stored energy to be provided is based on a preset sequence of arrival of the next transport and a plurality of transports. ### Claim 20 (depends on 16) The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16, wherein the preset sequence is related to a set of characteristics of the plurality of transports.
