Serving State College
Your local certified EV installer
Happy Valley has one of the fastest-growing EV adoption rates in Central Pennsylvania, and it makes sense. State College attracts educated, forward-thinking homeowners who care about doing things right, including how they charge at home. Whether you're in the neighborhoods surrounding Penn State's campus, out in Toftrees, or anywhere in the surrounding boroughs, Steel Fox EV & Electric is your local certified installer.
State College has a wide mix of housing, from older homes in areas like College Heights and Holmes-Foster that may need a panel assessment before installation, to newer construction in Toftrees and Tudek Park where a straightforward Level 2 install is usually all it takes. We know the difference and we assess every home individually so there are no surprises.
Many State College homeowners drive Teslas and specifically ask about the Tesla Wall Connector, we're one of the few Tesla Certified installers in Centre County, so we know that installation inside and out. We also install for Hyundai, Chevy, Toyota, Ford, Rivian, BMW, and any other EV on the road today.
Detached garages are common in the older neighborhoods near campus, if you're looking to run a charger out to a detached garage, we handle the full conduit run and make sure the install is weatherproof and code-compliant. These are straightforward jobs we do throughout the State College area.
Every job starts with a free on-site estimate. Todd comes out personally, looks at your panel, checks the path from the box to where you want the charger, and gives you a straight number before any work begins. No subcontractors, no call centers, just a local guy who knows the area.
