Lancaster providing electric charging stations around town

The city of Lancaster has installed new charging stations around town, making charging electric vehicles (EV) more convenient and affordable, officials announced Friday.

“Transitioning our city to electric-based equipment, be it cars or even yard equipment, will truly create a lasting impact for the future of our community,” said Lancaster Vice Mayor Marvin Crist. “We are grateful and proud to provide these resources to our residents and support our goal to remain a net-zero energy city.”

Residents with electric vehicles will find three new EV chargers at two locations. There is one EV ARC 2020 charging station with two ports located at Lancaster Baptist Church, 4020 E Lancaster Blvd (between Lancaster Blvd. and 40th Street East). And there are two Chargepoint Level II EV charging stations at the Residence Inn by Marriott, 847 W Lancaster Blvd. (between Lancaster Blvd. and 10th Street West).

Individuals wishing to charge at either location can download the Chargepoint app to connect and charge their vehicles. The cost for charging locally is:

  • Access/Implementation Fee: $1.00 per session
  • Energy Fee: $0.26 per kWh
  • Station Fee: First 4 hours Free/$1.50 per hour after

“I can’t overstate this – the choices we make for our Earth today will change the world for our children and grandchildren in the future,” said Lancaster Mayor R. Rex Parris. “Adding charging stations around the city encourages residents to make the switch to electric vehicles. It’s safe, cost-effective, and reduces our pollution in the community.”

    Well, it looks like Fox so-called “news” is siding with Ukraine and criticizing Putin.

    Apparently, they’ve cut Trump loose for now. Where is he? He’s not on Fox yammering and praising Putin for being a “genius” and “savvy”.

    Went to In-Shape this afternoon and NO MASKS required. Meanwhile, dumbass truckers are driving from Los Angeles to D.C. to protest vaccines, masks and whatever their parents did to them when they were kids.

    I promise you that vaccines are the least of their problems. Mental illness might be the source of their angst. Whatever they use to stay awake might be an issue.

    What’s gas up to now? $5 yet? I don’t go out much lately. What’s electricity cost? I’d rather not know. Boy, are we being ripped off. Why? Because of the CA PUC and progressive nincompoops like:

    John Kerry the crony environmental czar. Failed presidential candidate, failed Sec. of State, Swift Boat Vietnam coward, and billionaire oligarch robber baron who married into ownership of Heinz, Kraft Foods, and billions in solar power stocks (conflict of interest there?) He flits around the globe in his private jet from environmental conference to conference generating more pollution (and hot air BS) than you and I crank in decades. And his Kraft processed foods kill millions.

    AOC won’t have children cause she says that the world will end by pollution in what now……9 years? What a wacko. Why would anyone listen to her? Yet she and Comrade Bernie want to price you out of energy and impoverish your grandchildren to pay for their impossible wet dreams.

    Greta Thunberg, an autistic teenager had a tantrum about a fashionable woke subject that she knew nothing about, and the world kowtows to her petulance. She uses private jets too.

    Then there’s Prince Harry and Megan Markle and Al Gore (Gore an appropriate name, huh?). Elitist hypocrites that lecture and scold and harangue incessantly (sh!t, we could have just listened to Alexis) while using private jets, gas guzzling SUV entourages, and they live in mansions. How can they identify with us and relate to our needs?

    Nuff said.

          No, that’s I once again skipped your laundry list but saw the way you signed off and hoped it would be the last one. I’m not gonna litigate your lists item by item because experience suggests that every item on the list is dislocated from the other items and that every one of them has been repeatedly debunked already.

            Democrat’s mantra: Don’t believe your lying eyes. But on one point you’re right and I’m wrong: Gas is not $5. It’s more.

            But every point I make is a lie or “debunked”, right? LOL. Sounds like a 3 year old getting caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

            If everything I say is arbitrarily a lie or debunked, then you have a problem with your judgment and credibility. Especially credibility. Trying to intimidate and cancel me into silence will not work. No……Demon-rats would never do that, right?

            Good luck with that anyway.

            I have a tough time with one political party being a bunch of liars and the other not.

            The fact is machiavellianism and narcissism is the foundation of most politicians and political parties.

    You’re risking your life riding a bike near any road in the Antelope Valley.

    I will not be putting my life in the hands of AV drivers. oh hell no!

      Agree 1000% FWB. I always rode my bicycle on the sidewalk when possible, and planned my routes accordingly.

        You’re risking your life walking on any sidewalk in the AV.

          I never hit anyone on the sidewalk. I was really careful. But if I did, it wouldn’t be as catastrophic as a bike being hit by a car. I think it’s illegal to ride on the sidewalk, but my life meant more.

          Am I the only one that values my life? Don’t answer that and I’ll buy you a coffee.

    You can’t be btween 10th St. West and Lancaster Blvd., or 40th St. East and Lancaster Blvd. They run perpendicular to each other. Be nice if a person from the AV or familiar with the AV wrote this. And why a religious institution? Why not LPAC? Why not the Veteran’s Medical Bldg.?

      Because Wrecks owes his office to the pastor at Lancaster Baptist Church and the payoffs at the expense of the city are endless.

      • FredM says

        March 5, 2022 at 1:51 pm

        Considering the outlying location, 40th East and Lancaster Blvd, it really does look like a payoff.
        For clean energy this looks dirty.

        March 6, 2022 at 10:34 am

        The Baptist at that church are wacked. Hypocrites to the max.

        It would be nice of Lancaster was a net-zero crime and corruption city.

    I hope these charging stations get used more than all the bike lanes that are crowding our streets.

      The only time I ever see bikes on the roads is on the weekends. But I never see them in Rex’s useless lanes.
