Peninsula Clean Energy is now WestLight Energy
WestLight Energy is the community choice energy provider for San Mateo County. It buys the electricity; PG&E still delivers it and sends the bill. On July 1, 2026, Peninsula Clean Energy took the name WestLight Energy, and peninsulacleanenergy.com now redirects to westlightenergy.org. The name changed; the service area did not.
ChargeWizards installs across WestLight's service area, including:
Single-family homes: use PG&E's rebate
WestLight's own EV page points single-family homeowners to PG&E rather than offering its own home charger rebate. WestLight customers are PG&E customers for delivery, so they are eligible for the PG&E Residential EV Charging Rebate:
- Standard: up to 50% of the purchase price of one approved charger (from PG&E's list). No income limit; apply within 180 days of purchase.
- Rebate Plus (income-qualified): up to $2,000 for an eligible charger and installation, or up to $5,000 with an electrical panel upgrade. Pre-approval is required before installation, and the work must be done by a contractor in PG&E's Trade Ally Network.
WestLight's page mentions a $500 to $1,000 PG&E install rebate; that figure appears to reflect an older version of PG&E's program. PG&E's own terms (above) are the current source.
Multifamily, condo, and HOA: WestLight EV Ready
EV Ready (implemented by Ecology Action) funds EV charging at multifamily buildings with 4 or more units that get electricity from WestLight Energy. Condos and HOAs qualify. It is applied for by the property owner, HOA, or their contractor, not by an individual resident. Amounts as stated by WestLight:
| Item | Standard multifamily | Affordable housing |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 / Level 2 outlet | $2,500 per port | $3,000 per port |
| Level 2 charging station | $4,500 per port | $5,500 per port |
| Main panel upgrade (4+ ports) | $5,000 | $5,000 |
| Project cap | Up to 75% of project cost | Up to 100% of project cost |
| Property maximum | $135,000 | $135,000 |
Pre-approval (a reservation) is required before installation; reimbursement follows project completion. See our multifamily EV charging page for how we scope these projects.
Tesla Certified Installer
ChargeWizards is Tesla Certified (CSLB #1134931), which means we source DPM equipment directly from Tesla — including the Neurio energy meter with proprietary firmware that isn't available through retail channels. Not all installers can offer DPM.
What about the federal 30C tax credit?
It has ended. The federal 30C EV charger tax credit does not apply to chargers placed in service after June 30, 2026. See our 30C guide for details and IRS sources.
How ChargeWizards helps
