As more electric options enter the market, drivers are benefiting from advancements in both EVs and charging systems. Toyota and Lexus have joined forces with Treehouse, a software-powered platform, to simplify the home installation process for their hybrid and electric vehicle customers.
What is Treehouse?
Treehouse is an innovative operating system designed to help hybrid and EV owners secure and install Level 2 home charging units. It offers a "one-stop-shop" experience for Toyota and Lexus owners, handling the project from initial scope to the final electrical inspection. While many construction jobs involve frequent visits from different workers, Treehouse uses a one-time visit to provide an estimate, allowing the project to move forward immediately upon your approval. This turnkey management ensures a smooth experience without the typical uncertainty of home renovations. Toyota and Lexus drivers can trust that Treehouse uses licensed professionals who will assess your home’s electrical needs and perform a top-tier installation.
Home Charging Options
The charging capabilities of your vehicle are linked to its specific model year. For the 2026 model year, all Toyota and Lexus EV and hybrid models feature a standard 120V/240V AC charger for home use. These systems enable both Level 1 and Level 2 charging with a 7.7 kW output, making overnight charging easy. Local laws in states like California require dual-voltage cables for BEVs, a feature Toyota has offered since 2024. Starting in 2026, PHEVs will also include this dual-voltage cable, and Toyota is making this tech standard across the country for all eligible models.
Benefits For All
Offering a Level 2 charger as standard equipment for every Toyota and Lexus hybrid or EV provides clear advantages for the owner. The dual-voltage cable works perfectly with the 240V outlets installed by Treehouse, ensuring efficient home charging. Additionally, the cable is protected by a warranty.
