Why Cities Matter
Resilient Cities
Brightmerge and
As cities around the world prioritize decarbonization and businesses shift to sustainable practices, electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming an essential component in cities’ strategies for reducing carbon emissions and meeting sustainability targets. Achieving private, public and fleet electrification across diverse industries requires the involvement of multiple stakeholders alongside balancing financial feasibility, infrastructure readiness, and regulatory alignment.
Leveraging Brightmerge's multi-user AI and data analytics platform, cities - and businesses in their jurisdiction - can execute comprehensive techno-financial and sustainability assessments to assist in optimizing their EV adoption strategy, analyzing all elements of the transition process, including vehicle, charging hub, and supporting energy infrastructure, for optimal financial and technical performance. With Brightmerge, municipalities can create sustainable, resilient communities that support long-term environmental impact.
Delivering Value, Whatever Your Role, Whatever Your Project
BrightMerge’s robust architecture platform and access to external data sources provide cities with accurate insights and sophisticated project-level analysis, supporting strategic planning, financing, and ongoing optimization of clean transportation and energy initiatives.
From public transit electrification to city-wide EV infrastructure to resilient local energy systems, the BrightMerge platform ensures maximum project feasibility, value, and long-term sustainability.

Start Your Project Journey In Any Module. It's 1 Unified System.
Together or separately, these modules enable robust, flexible data-capture for your project, which is analyzed, optimized and delivered to you in a comprehensive, bankable report.
PROJECT Module
Enter general information about the project to define key parameters, including geo-location information about the municipality/city. You’ll be able to take into account business models, financial assumptions, and sustainability goals later, alongside regulatory requirements, grid connection considerations, and more. Onboard your team to collaborate, provide data, run simulations, and align stakeholders efficiently.
FLEET Module
Provide data about municipal vehicle fleets, which can then be organized into groupings based on vehicle type, battery capacity, and operational routes. Using optimization, you can evaluate the most efficient transition to electrified fleets, ensuring cost savings, reduced emissions, and alignment with sustainability goals. Download all project details, including financial breakdowns and long-term cost-benefit projections to support citywide planning and funding applications.
CHARGING HUB Module
Input key data for municipal charging infrastructure, including station locations, equipment specifications, operational parameters, and tariffs. Alternatively, review and adjust automatically populated values sourced from real-time databases. Optimization provides an ideal charging network layout and operational strategy to support public and fleet electrification goals. Download all project details, including financial projections and impact assessments, to guide city planning and funding applications.
[MICRO]GRID Module
Enter custom data or leverage real-time API-connected databases to analyze municipal energy requirements within the broader energy market, including tariffs, incentives, and dynamic pricing. Optimize energy supply strategies for public and fleet charging hubs, determining whether the existing grid can meet demand, if upgrades are needed, or if a localized microgrid is the best solution. Download detailed project reports, financial assessments, and implementation roadmaps to support city-wide electrification planning.
Output: BANKABLE REPORT
After the necessary data is provided for the relevant modules, the platform’s algorithms analyze your city's EV infrastructure project to determine the most viable business model. This process is completed in minutes and then reviewed by our team—usually within 24 hours—for QA and accuracy before being published to your secure user area. The bankable report can be downloaded and used to support policy decisions, secure public and private funding, and drive urban electrification strategies.
