Charged EVs | Treehouse has a new turnkey solution for residential EV charging for fleets and management companies

Treehouse, provider of an installation platform for electrification projects, is now offering a turnkey solution designed to streamline the deployment of residential EV charging infrastructure for fleet owners and management companies.

Not all vehicle fleets consist of heavy-duty vehicles that operate out of depots—some include passenger cars whose drivers find charging at home to be the most convenient and cost-effective option. Fleet operators need a scalable solution to provide chargers to all of their drivers, and that’s what Treehouse is now offering.

Treehouse’s platform provides “a scalable solution to companies deploying electric fleets that enables faster, smoother EV deployments while significantly reducing operational overhead.”

“Fleet operators who are deploying electric vehicles at scale face a complex task of ensuring consistency, quality and compliance across large, distributed fleets,” said Eric Owski, CEO of Treehouse. “By offering a turnkey, streamlined solution, we empower fleet owners and managers to help their drivers get reliable, cost-efficient home charging, reducing the friction of the electrification process and enabling faster deployment of EVs.”

Treehouse manages the entire installation process, from quoting and design to permitting and installation. The benefits of this approach include:

• High-quality installation and fair pricing—By providing end-to-end project ownership, Treehouse strives to ensure consistent, compliant, high-quality and safe installation experiences. The company delivers upfront, transparent pricing per project.
• Reduced operational overhead and maximum control—Treehouse offers automation controls including job pricing via API, instant job approvals and customizable approval thresholds, and installation scheduling based on vehicle delivery.
• Enhanced driver experience—Treehouse provides a single point of contact, minimizing the time it takes for drivers to be set up with reliable home charging.

“Treehouse’s ability to combine high-quality residential charging installation solutions with innovative automation technology and flexible data integration capabilities is a game-changer for scaling fleet electrification projects,” said Emily Graham, Director of Energy and Connectivity at fleet management provider Holman, a Treehouse customer. “Treehouse helps our customers integrate EVs into their fleet operations more quickly and seamlessly than before, accelerating the average timeline of charger installations by one to three weeks.”

Treehouse partners with Synop, provider of a fleet charging and energy management platform, to collaborate on Take-Home Fleet projects. The Synop platform can enable a fleet’s home charging reimbursement program with automatic usage tracking, utility bill calculation and reimbursement reports.
