public charging

Under the public charge rule, immigrants to United States classified as Likely or Liable to become a Public Charge may be denied visas or permission to enter the country due to their disabilities or lack of economic resources. The term was introduced in the Immigration Act of 1882. The restriction has remained a major cause for denial of visas and lawful permanent residency ever since; in 1992, about half of those denied immigrant and non-immigrant visas for substantive reasons were denied due to the public charge rule. However, the administrative definition of "public charge" has been subject to major changes, notably in 1999 and 2019.

    Ironic EV situation

    I saw this and I thought how ironic. An Octopus Energy van on charge at a Source London charge point and at 64p /kWh! Any other pictures on the same theme?

    Podpoint public charging nonsense

    Perhaps a cautionary tale ! As I have mentioned elsewhere I spent a few days staying at Heythrop Park for a new year getaway. They have dozens of Podpoint 7kW chargers so very handy for topping up for pootling around and the journey home. The charge for these is 57p/kWh, not too bad. However as...

    ZS EV LR Will suddenly not fast charge

    My ZS is almost 2 years old. During a 2000 km trip from France to Portugal, over 4 days, the car initially performed normally at CCS chargers, charging at up to 62kW. After a charge on day 3 at a BP Pulse Iberdrola charger, the Bluetooth stopped working (Wired and dongle). At the next charge and...

    Feeling stupid about my first public charge…

    I have managed to own this car for six months and never have charged it at a public charger. I'm now going to go to Centerparcs, I will need a little boost and have booked a 7kW space. It seems that the charging points are managed and owned by VendElectric and listed on their app, but...

    Occasional public charging

    I'm just getting my first electric car, and I'll mostly charge it at home with a granny charger. We only did 2000 miles a year with our old car, but we may do a tad more with the shiny new one. We may even get away from home and want to charge from a public charger, but I doubt we'll need to do...

    Public charging routine in a nutshell

    OK, to some of you wise old owls this post may appear as a little 'basic', and bits and pieces have been discussed recently elsewhere so I may be in threat of duplication, but can we please develop some sort some sort of a Public Charging Routine for newbies specific to the S5 and pin it...

    Public Charging

    Does/has anyone successfully used public charging stations? I tried two today, a Mer one and a Pod, and at both was unable to actually get the car to charge. At the Mer one the car kept aborting the charge with the control unit saying it was ready but an error occurred so to try reconnecting the...

    The price of public charging points these days

    Are they cheaper than petrol? They seem to average about 60p/kWh. The cheapest near me is at a community hospital and it's 42p/kWh.

    Public Charging MGS5

    Hi I have just received delivery of a MGS5 Trojan and as I live in a flat I don't have access to my own charger but there is a bank of 20 chargers just 5 minutes walk away. Thought I would try to charge my vehicle to 100% even though it was still on 77% battery charge to make sure I knew what...

    MG4 - charging from a 13A socket

    Hi, I ordered an MG4 (SE Long Range) on Saturday 8th, and am picking it up on Saturday 15th. We won't have a charger fitted by then, so until we do our choices are charge at public chargers (£££) or charge from a 13A socket. So...: is it safe to charge from a 13A socket? I've read that it's...

    50kW Charging Time

    Apologies for the pedantic question (still new to EVs), but I'm on the verge of getting a MG S5, and looking for some clarification on charging. According to data on Autotrader, charging via 50kW public charger, the S5 takes over 2 hours to reach 80%. Yet most other cars in its class and...
