The growing EV market is introducing customers to helpful innovations in charging gear and electric mobility. Toyota and Lexus are collaborating with Treehouse, a software-based platform for charger setups, to provide a more convenient experience for hybrid and electric vehicle customers.
What is Treehouse?
Treehouse is a dedicated operating system for hybrids and EVs that simplifies the home Level 2 charging system acquisition process. Toyota and Lexus customers receive a holistic experience that manages the entire project scope, including permitting and final installation. While typical home improvements require several contractor visits, Treehouse offers a streamlined one-time visit for a quote, allowing the project to proceed immediately upon customer consent. This turnkey approach provides peace of mind by eliminating uncertainty about who is working at your home. Lexus and Toyota owners can be confident that Treehouse uses only licensed electricians to assess the property, manage electrical upgrades, and install the charger according to strict safety protocols.
Home Charging Options
Capabilities for charging depend on the model year of your Toyota or Lexus. New 2026 hybrid and EV models come equipped with a standard 120V/240V AC charger, facilitating Level 1 and Level 2 home charging. With a 7.7 kW maximum power output, these chargers can provide a nearly full battery after an overnight session. Geography is also a factor, as states like California require dual-voltage cables for BEV sales. Toyota has utilized this technology in BEVs since 2024 and will extend it to PHEVs in 2026. Now, Toyota offers this dual-voltage convenience to all qualifying vehicles nationwide.
Benefits For All
Standardizing the Level 2 charger for every Lexus or Toyota EV and hybrid brings multiple perks to the consumer. The dual-voltage cable is fully compatible with 240V outlets set up by Treehouse, ensuring easy home charging. Additionally, the included cable comes with its own warranty.
