Brooklyn residents are urging the city to pump the breaks on a new electric vehicle charging station set to be built across from an elementary school, insisting possible health risks aren’t worth the purported green benefits, The Post has learned. Plans for an EVgo charging station on the corner of Fifth Avenue and 92nd Street in Bay Ridge are cruising along thanks to new City of Yes zoning updates that make it easier to build green energy technology and bypass community board input. EVgo submitted plans to raze the former KFC located at the site, though construction permits had not been filed yet, Crain’s New York reported last week.
