Members of the business community were able to test drive the Nissan LEAF at the event and received a demonstration of how to use the charging station at the Ridgefield Playhouse.

“Everyone is trying to find ways to be a little more 'green' these days,” said Bruce Bennett of Bruce Bennett Nissan in Wilton. “An electric vehicle is a great way to go green. The Nissan LEAF is 100 percent electric; you'll never buy gas again.”

The playhouse is an ideal venue for such a charging station, said Allison Stockel, executive director of the playhouse.

"It makes perfect sense," she said. "You're sitting inside a movie theater or enjoying a show for several hours -- it's the perfect time to charge your electric car. And our hope is that the easier we make it for people to charge their cars, the more people will go electric."
