Toyota and Lexus Introduce Treehouse for EV Charger Setup
As more manufacturers enter the EV space, customers are seeing more innovation in both the cars they drive and the equipment used to charge them. Toyota and Lexus have partnered with Treehouse, a software-driven platform for home charging setups, to ensure a convenient experience for hybrid and electric vehicle owners.
What is Treehouse?
Treehouse is a digital operating system created to help EV and hybrid owners acquire and install Level 2 home charging equipment with ease. It provides a holistic experience for Toyota and Lexus customers, managing every aspect from project planning to permitting. Unlike standard construction jobs that can be disruptive, Treehouse offers a streamlined one-visit quote process. If the customer approves, the project proceeds immediately. This turnkey approach provides peace of mind by removing the uncertainty of who is working on your home. Owners can rest assured that Treehouse employs licensed electricians to assess their home’s needs and handle all necessary electrical upgrades.
Home Charging Options
The charging features of your vehicle depend on the specific model year of your Toyota or Lexus. All new 2026 hybrid and EV models include a standard 120V/240V AC charger, allowing for Level 1 or Level 2 charging at home. These 7.7 kW systems are designed to provide a nearly full charge overnight. Geography also matters; for example, California requires dual-voltage cables for all BEVs. Toyota has utilized this technology in BEVs since 2024 and will include it in PHEVs starting in 2026. This technology is now standard for all qualifying vehicles nationwide.
Benefits For All
Including a Level 2 charger as standard equipment with every Toyota and Lexus hybrid or EV offers several key advantages. The dual-voltage cable works perfectly with the 240V outlets installed via Treehouse, making home charging simple. Additionally, the charging cable is backed by a manufacturer warranty.
