GREENWOOD, Maine (AP) -- Western Maine's Mount Abram ski area says it's the second in North America to install electric vehicle charging stations.

The Greenwood ski area has installed a pair of 220-volt charging centers. They're located close to the main lodge, rewarding guests who arrive in electric and hybrid cars. Mount Abram says its charging centers show the privately owned ski area's commitment to environmental sustainability.

Stevens Pass Ski Area in Washington also has electric vehicle charging stations.
