Held at the Bank of America Plaza in downtown LA, the annual Motorexpo showcases vehicles from almost all of the world’s biggest carmakers. This year, visitors to the free five-day event will also be able to try out the four charging points recently installed in the centre, with demonstrations designed to show how easy they are to use.

Dan Kindbergh, senior vice president of U.S. commercial operations at plaza owner Brookfield Office Properties commented: 'The new EV charging stations just installed at Bank of America Plaza are part of our bigger-picture goal to have operating EV charging stations in multiple Brookfield property garages nationwide by the end of 2011.

‘EV charging stations complement the entire Green Parking Program at Brookfield, which also includes bike/scooter parking, premium hybrid parking, energy efficient lighting, tire inflation capability and more.’
