Visitors to the Ridgefield Playhouse can now recharge their electric cars while enjoying a show or movie thanks to new Nissan LEAF Charging Stations sponsored by Bruce Bennett Nissan, also in Ridgefield.

“It makes perfect sense,” says Allison Stockel, executive director of the nonprofit performing arts center. “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.”

The official ribbon cutting took place on August 1 with the Ridgefield Chamber of Commerce organizing the unveiling of the station.

Location: 80 E. Ridge, Ridgefield. For more information, call 203-438-579 or visit RidgefieldPlayhouse.org.
