Treehouse is designed to make electric vehicle ownership easier by helping Toyota EV owners understand their home charging options and get the support they need to keep their vehicle powered up.
Whether you are considering your first electric vehicle or already drive a Toyota electrified model, Treehouse helps answer one of the most common EV questions: "How will I charge my vehicle?"
What Is Treehouse?
Treehouse is a home charging solution designed to simplify the electric vehicle ownership experience. It helps Toyota drivers understand their charging needs and provides a convenient path toward setting up a charging solution at home.
Instead of depending only on public charging stations, many EV owners choose home charging because it allows them to charge their vehicle while parked overnight or during their daily routine.
Why Choose Home EV Charging?
For many Toyota EV drivers, charging at home is one of the easiest ways to maintain their vehicle's battery. Home charging provides convenience, flexibility, and confidence before starting each day.
Benefits of home charging include:
- Convenient charging while your vehicle is parked at home
- Less time spent waiting at public charging stations
- A simple charging routine that fits your lifestyle
- The ability to start your day with a charged vehicle
Understanding EV Charging Levels
Electric vehicles can be charged using different methods depending on your needs, driving habits, and available equipment.
Level 1 Charging
Level 1 charging uses a standard household outlet. It is the simplest charging option but typically provides slower charging speeds.
Level 2 Charging
Level 2 charging uses a dedicated 240-volt connection and is one of the most common home charging solutions. It provides faster charging compared with a standard outlet and is often ideal for overnight charging.
Public Fast Charging
DC fast charging stations are designed for faster charging while traveling or when additional range is needed away from home.
What Is NACS Charging?
NACS, or North American Charging Standard, is a charging connector standard used by many EV charging networks. Toyota is expanding charging compatibility for select battery electric vehicles, helping provide drivers with additional charging options.
Charging capability and equipment requirements vary by Toyota model, so it is important to check your specific vehicle's charging information when choosing a home charging solution.
The Great Lakes Toyota team can help answer questions about Toyota electrified vehicles, charging options, and what solution may work best for your needs.
