Toyota and Lexus Launch Treehouse to Simplify EV Charger Installation for Car Owners
In a bid to enhance the experience of owning electric vehicles (EVs), Toyota and Lexus have launched Treehouse, a revolutionary service aimed at simplifying the installation of home charging stations. As battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) become more prevalent, the importance of convenient home charging options has never been greater.
Treehouse addresses a common pain point for EV owners: the complexities of acquiring and installing a Level 2 home charger. For many, the process involves sourcing a charger, soliciting quotes from electricians, scheduling appointments, and navigating the necessary permit applications, which can be a daunting task. Fortunately, with Treehouse, customers can breathe easy as it manages all these aspects on their behalf.
The service streamlines the installation from start to finish. When a customer signs the paperwork for their new 2026 Toyota or Lexus BEV or PHEV, they can seamlessly transition into the next logical step—how to charge their new vehicle. Treehouse employs advanced software to define project scope, design installations, and handle permit applications, ensuring a hassle-free experience. The unique aspect of Treehouse is its virtual scanning technology, allowing customers to receive installation quotes within 48 hours with minimal effort—just a few photos and a quick survey.
Once the project details are confirmed, Treehouse coordinates with licensed electricians who are specially selected for their expertise, ensuring that each installation meets the highest standards of quality and safety. Thibaut de Barros Conti, Vice President of Business Development at Toyota Motor North America (TMNA), emphasizes that just as Toyota and Lexus vehicles are known for their reliability and driving pleasure, the home charging experience should reflect the same ease. Treehouse does precisely that, offering a comprehensive solution for customers looking to establish their home charging setup.
All 2026 BEVs and PHEVs from these brands come equipped with a dual-voltage home charger, designed for both Level 1 and Level 2 charging. This charger, which operates at a maximum of 7.7 kW under ideal conditions, allows users to fully charge their vehicle overnight, transitioning from roughly 10% charge back to maximum capacity.
As part of California's regulations for zero-emission vehicles, all BEVs sold in the state must include this dual-voltage charging cable. Toyota has implemented this feature across various models, ensuring that owners have the flexibility to utilize Treehouse to install a 240V outlet for Level 2 charging.
In addition to the standard charging solution, Treehouse offers the ChargePoint Home Flex Level 2 charger, which can reportedly reduce charging time by up to 30% depending on the vehicle and setup. Customers can choose between a charging plug designed for 2026 BEVs and later models or a versatile design that accommodates earlier models as well.
Eric Owski, co-founder and CEO of Treehouse, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership with Toyota, highlighting the shared mission to enhance the EV experience. This collaboration aims to make electric vehicle home charging not only efficient but also enjoyable for drivers.
Customers interested in learning more about Treehouse's integrated solutions can consult with their local Toyota dealer, visit the dedicated Toyota charging center webpage, or explore Treehouse’s site directly.
