A method for charging a localized use vehicle, wherein the method is performed by an application on a mobile device, the method comprising: activating a localized use vehicle session, evaluating the charge state of a localized use vehicle, tracking a geographical location of the localized use vehicle, receiving a selection of a user of the localized use vehicle to terminate the active session, determining a decentralized charging vehicle being parked within a predefined distance of the localized use vehicle at the time of termination of the active session and having charging availability, displaying the location of the parked decentralized charging vehicle that has charging availability, and providing access to a charging interface of the decentralized charging vehicle to couple the localized use vehicle to the charging interface by unlocking a trunk or a charging cap of the decentralized charging vehicle. Claim: 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the decentralized charging vehicle is comprised in-a fleet of shared vehicles. Claim: 3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the decentralized charging vehicle is a privately owned vehicle. Claim: 4. The method of claim 2 , further comprising activating a vehicle session, and notifying a user whether a vehicle available for a vehicle session is charging a localized use vehicle at a time prior to activation of the vehicle session. Claim: 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the decentralized charging vehicle that has charging availability provides a visual or audible indicator in response to the mobile device being in proximity to the vehicle. Claim: 6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the localized use vehicle comprises one of a scooter or a bicycle. Claim: 7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the decentralized charging vehicle comprises a charging interface accessible in the trunk of the vehicle and comprises a power cord coupled to a power supply of the vehicle, and the localized use vehicle is positioned in the vehicle trunk in a charge position. Claim: 8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more decentralized charging vehicles comprises a charging interface accessible on the exterior of the vehicle and comprises a power cord coupled to a high voltage battery of the vehicle, and the localized use vehicle is positioned exterior to the vehicle in a charge position. Claim: 9. A mobile device with an application for decentralized charging of localized use vehicle comprising: the application configured to: activate a localized use vehicle session, evaluate the charge state of a localized use vehicle, receive a selection of a user of the localized use vehicle to terminate the active session, track a geographical location of the localized use vehicle, determine a decentralized charging vehicle being parked within a predefined distance of the localized use vehicle at the time of termination of the active session and having charging availability, display the location of the parked decentralized charging vehicle that has charging availability, and provide access to a charging interface of the decentralized charging vehicle to couple the localized use vehicle to the charging interfaceby unlocking the trunk or a charging cap of the decentralized charging vehicle. Claim: 10. The mobile device of claim 9 , wherein the application provides a one-time access prompt to unlock the trunk or the charging cap. Claim: 11. The mobile device of claim 9 , wherein the decentralized charging vehicle that has charging availability is displayed in response to all of: the charge state of the localized use vehicle being below a certain threshold, a user terminating the active session, and the decentralized charging vehicle being within a predefined distance of the localized use vehicle at the time of termination of the active session. Claim: 12. The mobile device of claim 9 , wherein the application further displays a map of localized use vehicles available to activate a new active session. Claim: 13. The mobile device of claim 12 , where the display includes localized use vehicles coupled to charging interfaces of decentralized charging vehicles. Claim: 14. The mobile device of claim 13 , wherein the application permits selection of a localized use vehicle coupled to a charging interface of the plurality of localized use vehicles coupled to the plurality of charging interfaces. Claim: 15. The mobile The device of claim 14 , wherein, in response to the mobile device being in proximity to the selected localized use vehicle, the application provides a one-time access prompt to unlock the trunk of the vehicle to access the localized use vehicle. Claim: 16. The mobile The device of claim 9 , wherein the localized use vehicle comprises one of a scooter, a bicycle, a battery, or a fleet vehicle, and wherein the one or more decentralized charging vehicles comprises a fleet of shared vehicles.
