HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Merge Electric Fleet Solutions, a premier fleet electrification services and finance company, today announced the close of a Series A funding round led by strategic investor Pickering Energy Partners (PEP).

Merge supports fleets through the entire lifecycle of EV transition including planning, deployment, operations, and financial services. The company’s unique vehicle-driven infrastructure planning process is built on an analytics engine that maximizes economic and environmental benefits while minimizing operational risk. This approach provides customers with a data-driven plan to hit measurable and realistic goals for pilot programs and full deployment.
Featuring a best-in-class founding team led by EV-industry pioneer Glen Stancil, Merge combines vehicle, infrastructure, and financial expertise to provide fleets with simple and affordable electrification solutions. The Merge team brings decades of EV experience from designing, delivering, and operating integrated charging solutions for residential and commercial applications on L2 and DC platforms at over 1,500 sites across 40 states.
