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.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- instructing a transport to fulfill an energy transfer to a charging station if an available amount of energy of the transport is sufficient based on a sum of:
- an energy amount based on a destination of an occupant or cargo and on an average energy consumption of the transport;
- and
- a minimal additional energy amount required by the transport to reach the charging station.
A system, comprising:
- a processor of a server;
- a memory on which are stored machine readable instructions that when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- instruct a transport to fulfill an energy transfer to a charging station if an available amount of energy of the transport is sufficient based on a sum of:
- an energy amount based on a destination of an occupant or cargo and on an average energy consumption of the transport;
- and
- a minimal additional energy amount required by the transport to reach the charging station.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions, that when read by a processor, cause the processor to perform:
- instructing a transport to fulfill an energy transfer to a charging station if an available amount of energy of the transport is sufficient based on a sum of:
- an energy amount based on a destination of an occupant or cargo and on an average energy consumption of the transport;
- and
- a minimal additional energy amount required by the transport to reach the charging station.
