Antlers Inn of Chester has installed four electric vehicle charging stations through a grant program administered by Pacific Gas and Electric Company. The four EV stations are part of the AmpUP Network, a national charging station program.
Owner Mark Lilley sees the new EV charging stations as part of the effort to move forward and enhance tourism in the Lake Almanor area. “With Chester’s new hospital and the exciting growth of local businesses, we want to contribute to the momentum. These chargers aren’t just about staying current; they’re about ensuring that Chester remains a thriving, vibrant community for residents and visitors,” Lilley said.

Portola installed four stations last December, and the county board of supervisors approved installation of two stations at Dame Shirley Plaza this summer.
