Parents at P.S. 104 in Bay Ridge are worried about the future following plans for a demolition at a site across the street, where an electric vehicle charging station may be built. The site, previously a KFC, was purchased for $5.3 million by EVgo, a prominent EV charging provider. Community leaders express concerns regarding health impacts on children, increased traffic, and safety during school hours. No studies exist on the effects of such stations near schools, raising additional worries about security and operational details of the planned facility.
"First and foremost, there are currently no comprehensive studies on the long-term impact of EV charging stations on growing children, especially those in the kindergarten through fifth-grade age group."
"The installation of an EV charging station - likely to increase vehicle traffic and distractions - could further endanger students, staff and families during drop-off and pick-up times."
