Car dealerships around Vermont are partnering with the group Drive Electric Vermont to celebrate National Plug In Day. They're encouraging Vermonters to learn more about electric vehicles.

Vermonters who drive electric vehicles now have another location where they can charge their cars. Green Mountain Power and the city of Montpelier have opened an electric vehicle charging station behind City Hall.

Central Vermont Public Service will be test driving Toyota's new Prius plug-in to see how the car handles in cold weather.
