Based around a recycled shipping container Papilio3 can be installed in under 8 hours, providing a solution that can rapidly accelerate EV adoption through the provision of EV infrastructure. As a destination and workplace charging solution, it takes advantage of increased dwell times to provide an efficient EV charge that optimises the use of locally generated solar energy.

3ti has developed a product that offers a timely and innovative solution to many challenges facing the UK: boosting the EV charging infrastructure; supporting EV take-up; and providing control over energy costs and supply.

Papilio3 is based around a recycled shipping container, which supports the circular economy, makes it easy to transport and minimises groundwork, further lowering its carbon footprint. By boosting an existing three-phase connection with solar energy and an optional BESS up to 250kWh, Papilio3 can charge 12 EVs simultaneously at 3.5, 7, 11 or 22kW.

Papilio3 integrates three technologies that are more usually considered individually, or at best in pairs: solar photovoltaic (PV) electricity generation, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and EV charge points. Combining the three technologies, alongside 3ti’s smart charging and intelligent electrical load management system, offers a range of benefits, including optimising the speed and carbon intensity of EV charging and providing grid balancing.

In the past twelve months we have won numerous industry awards for Papilio3, winning the EV Charging Technology at the British Parking Awards and the Best New Technology category at the Transport + Energy Awards just last month. The most prestigious recognition of Papilio3, however, was the Innovation Award that we received from the Renewable Energy Association in June 2023.
