With more electric models entering the market, consumers are benefiting from breakthroughs in both EV technology and charging hardware. Toyota and Lexus have announced a new partnership with Treehouse, a software-powered system for home charger setups, to simplify life for hybrid and EV customers.
What is Treehouse?
Treehouse is a specialized operating system for EVs and hybrids that helps customers buy and install Level 2 home charging units with ease. It offers a comprehensive home charging solution for Toyota and Lexus owners, covering everything from project scope to permitting and final setup. Unlike typical home construction projects that require several contractor visits, Treehouse provides a one-time visit for a quote, allowing the project to proceed quickly upon approval. This turnkey management style provides peace of mind by removing the uncertainty often associated with home renovations. Owners can trust that Treehouse works with licensed electricians who will assess your home’s electrical system and ensure a safe, high-quality installation.
Home Charging Options
Your vehicle's charging capabilities are based on its model year. All 2026 Toyota and Lexus hybrid and EV models come with a standard 120V/240V AC charger for residential use, supporting both Level 1 and Level 2 speeds. These systems provide a 7.7 kW output, allowing for a nearly full charge overnight. Location is also important; states like California require dual-voltage cables for BEV sales. Toyota has utilized this 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
Standardizing the Level 2 charger for every Toyota and Lexus EV and hybrid provides several key advantages. The dual-voltage cable is fully compatible with 240V outlets installed by Treehouse, making home charging very efficient. Plus, the cable is protected by a manufacturer warranty.
