querying, via the charging station, the at least one candidate transport of an amount of energy stored in the at least one candidate transport; and
providing, via the at least one candidate transport to the charging station, the amount of energy stored in the at least one candidate transport.
6 . The method of claim 1 , comprising, identifying, via the charging station, the group of identified transports based on a distance, speed, direction, an amount of energy stored in each of the group of identified transports, an estimated amount of energy stored in each of the group of identified transports when each of the group of identified transports arrives at the charging station, and an estimated amount of energy stored in each of the group of identified transports when each of the group of identified transports arrives at the charging station and can provide energy to the charging station.
7 . The method of claim 1 , comprising, wirelessly notifying, via the charging station, the at least one transport of the group of identified transports of the needed amount of energy by an energy depleted transport and a location of the energy depleted transport, wherein the energy depleted transport is not part of the group of identified transports.
8 . A system, comprising:
a group of transports; and
a charging station configured to
request, via a charging station, an amount of energy from a group of transports prior to at least one transport of the group being connected to the charging station;
receive, via the charging station, a current charge level and travel information of the group of transports; and
select, via the charging station, at least one of the group of transports to provide charge to the charging station based on the current charge level and travel information.
9 . The system of claim 8 , wherein a location of the charging station is provided to the at least one transport when at least one of a following occurs:
the charging station wirelessly notifies the at least one transport of the needed amount of energy; and
the at least one transport confirms the needed amount of energy can be provided to the charging station.
10 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the charging station is configured to wirelessly notify at least one other transport of the group of identified transports of the needed amount of energy stored in the at least one other transport prior to the at least one transport being connected to the charging station.
11 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the charging station is configured to wirelessly notify the at least one transport of the needed amount of energy stored in the at least one transport based on an amount of energy stored in the at least one transport and a time for the at least one transport to arrive at the charging station.
12 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the charging station is configured to perform at least one of:
query, via the charging station, the at least one candidate transport of an amount of energy stored in the at least one candidate transport; and
provide, via the at least one candidate transport to the charging station, the amount of energy stored in the at least one candidate transport.
13 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the charging station is configured to identify the group of identified transports based on a distance, speed, direction, an amount of energy stored in each of the group of identified transports, an estimated amount of energy stored in each of the group of identified transports when each of the group of identified transports arrives at the charging station, and an estimated amount of energy stored in each of the group of identified transports when each of the group of identified transports arrives at the charging station and can provide energy to the charging station.
14 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the charging station is configured to wirelessly notify the at least one transport of the group of identified transports of the needed amount of energy by an energy depleted transport and a location of the energy depleted transport.
15 . A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions, that when read by a processor, cause the processor to perform:
requesting, via a charging station, an amount of energy from a group of transports prior to at least one transport of the group being connected to the charging station;
receiving, via the charging station, a current charge level and travel information of the group of transports; and
selecting, via the charging station, at least one of the group of transports to provide charge to the charging station based on the current charge level and travel information.
16 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , comprising instructions, that when read by a processor, cause the processor to perform providing a location of the charging station to the at least one transport when at least one of a following occurs:
the charging station wirelessly notifies the at least one transport of the needed amount of energy; and
the at least one transport confirms the needed amount of energy can be provided to the charging station.
17 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , comprising instructions, that when read by a processor, cause the processor to perform wirelessly notifying, via the charging station, at least one other transport of the group of identified transports of the needed amount of energy stored in the at least one other transport prior to the at least one transport being connected to the charging station.
18 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , comprising instructions, that when read by a processor, cause the processor to perform wirelessly notifying, via the charging station, the at least one transport of the needed amount of energy stored in the at least one transport based on an amount of energy stored in the at least one transport and a time for the at least one transport to arrive at the charging station.
