Papilio3 DC V2X FastHub Demonstration

The Papilio3 DC V2X FastHub Demonstration project will demonstrate an integrated bidirectional EV charging hub for medium dwell-time workplaces, destinations, return-to-base fleets and delivery depots. The solution is based on 3ti’s mini Solar Car Park: Papilio3, a pre-fabricated single-box solution using recycled shipping containers, designed to rapidly deploy 12 EV chargers with a solar canopy and energy storage battery. The V2X FastHub project focuses on integrating DC charge points, battery and solar to a common power bus, delivering 30 kW bidirectional charging, lower capital costs and lower operating costs using a high efficiency microgrid. 3ti will lead a consortium combining research expertise in EVs, energy systems and infrastructure (Cenex), with pioneers in bidirectional charging technology (Turbo Power Systems), and innovative grid flexibility aggregator (GridBeyond).
