Our Showroom

Modern showroom interior with electric vehicle

We are housed in the former home of a beloved surplus electronics store that served generations of inventors, tradesmen and tinkerers in the Los Angeles area.

City records trace the construction of the showroom to 1949, joined by a bowstring-truss warehouse at the rear of the building in 1952 and finished with the construction of the "SURPLUS" neon sign – now a designated historical resource – in 1956.

We've carefully restored both the building and its iconic neon sign to their original condition. After sitting dark for decades, we're thrilled to relight the sign and open our doors to support the region's transition to renewable energy.

What's so great about EVs?
  1. 1 You can fill up at home! Choose an EV with a rated range 20% higher than your longest regular round trip drive to ensure you can always make it back to your home charger.
  2. 2 They drive better than gas-powered cars. Instant torque and regenerative braking make driving smoother in day-to-day traffic and more confidence inspiring in rain and snow.
  3. 3 Batteries are very reliable, but if they do fail you're covered. Every car we sell retains the original battery warranty which covers the costliest potential repair to your vehicle.

What are the trade-offs?
  1. 1 If you frequently travel long distances, it can be time-consuming to plan an ideal route with the current availability and inconsistency of fast charging.
  2. 2 Cold weather (below 50°F) and extreme heat (above 90°F) can have a noticeable impact on the range of your vehicle as your car works harder to keep the battery at its optimal temperature.
  3. 3 Tires can wear more quickly than gas-powered cars due to the higher weight of EVs, but your savings on fuel, oil changes and smog checks will easily offset the expense.
