This Kentucky Fried Chicken closed in 2020.
In May 2020, a medical office wanted to use that location. They spoke at a CB 10 meeting about closing an exit on the lot, but they didn’t receive the response they wanted.
In 2022, EVGo bought the property for $5.3 million. In 2023, another company bought the property for $5.6 million, but EVGo will be leasing from them.
While electric car owners and scooter riders will be glad to see the fast charging station, PS 104 parents are not going to be happy about its location across the street from a school because of the increased traffic.
Who in NYC would approve a charging station near a school when there has been plenty of research about EMFs and children?
