Innovation is thriving in the EV market, providing customers with better vehicles and more efficient charging options. Toyota and Lexus have announced a collaboration with Treehouse, a specialized software system for charging installations, to make home charging easier for their hybrid and EV customers.

What is Treehouse?

Treehouse is a unique operating system for hybrids and EVs that simplifies the acquisition and installation of home Level 2 chargers. It provides a comprehensive experience for Toyota and Lexus owners, handling everything from project scoping to electrical permits. Unlike traditional construction projects that often require multiple contractor visits, Treehouse offers a single-visit quote process. This turnkey management ensures peace of mind, as customers don't have to worry about multiple workers entering their property over several days. You can trust that Treehouse works only with licensed electricians who will evaluate your electrical needs and ensure the installation meets high quality and safety standards.

Home Charging Options

Your vehicle's charging capabilities depend on its specific model year. For 2026, all new Toyota and Lexus EV and hybrid vehicles include a standard 120V/240V AC charger. This hardware supports both Level 1 and Level 2 home charging with a 7.7 kW output, which can fully charge most vehicles overnight. Local laws also influence these options; for instance, California requires dual-voltage cables for BEV sales. Toyota has offered this in BEVs since 2024 and is expanding it to PHEVs in 2026. This convenience is now being made standard for all eligible vehicles nationwide.

Benefits For All

The standard inclusion of a Level 2 charger with every Toyota and Lexus hybrid or EV offers several benefits. The dual-voltage cable is designed to work with 240V outlets installed by the Treehouse team, allowing for quick home power-ups. The cable is also protected by a warranty for added security.
