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.

    Charging the MG4

    I drove an Ampera E for 5 years and I have now been driving the MG4 Luxury for a week to almost complete satisfaction. But what I find very unfortunate is that you cannot set the time within which the car must charge at the home charging station (yes, I saw that you can set the starting time...

    MG4 Trophy: Idiot’s Guide to Public Charging?

    We got the MG just before Christmas and are loving it. Public charging is still a bit of a mystery to us though - sometimes it starts, other times it doesn’t, although I can now get the charge to start almost every time. Is there a simple step by step guide to what you need to do? I appreciate...

    Slow charging at public charging station

    We got our MG4 Trophy Long Range 3 days ago and charged it at a public charging station which is 22kW 3-phase. I didn't realise that the cable supplied by MG is 32A single phase and not 3-phase so not able to get full 11kW of charge available. Ours was the only car connected to the 2 port...

    Poll: Do you charge at home?

    Curious to know the distribution of folks here who have or don't have charging access at home! I live in a flat so no private parking, exclusively charging from public chargers. However, I don't drive for work and there's tons of options available near me (2 within walking distance) so it's not...

    Public charging - Mostly good

    This is intended to help others Yesterday, my MG ZS was two weeks old. The last few days I undertook a 350 round trip. We didn't top up to 100% before we left. At our destination we only had 20% charge. I've used a few public chargers and been mostly successful. Pod Point etc. I have an...

    3 weeks and 1k miles so far

    Really enjoying driving my MG4 trophy, so much so I look for excuses to get out in it. Lifetime consumption over the 1K has been 4 miles per kWh. Mostly home charged on the granny lead with sunshine but I've tried a few public chargers partly to prepare myself for a trip to North York Moors...

    Company Car - Relying on public charging

    MG4 Trophy LR due for delivery on Wednesday. It’s a company car, and one of the reasons why we went for EV is so I didn’t have to pay a high BIK% on an ICE. I’m handing in in my current car (NHS Salary Sacrifice) saving me £400 p/m So I’m only having to pay for charging the car. My problem...

    Public charging in Milton Keynes

    or more specifically close to Snozone. I thought I'd try one of my longer 'normal' trips yesterday and have a couple of hours on the slopes. It's around 180 mile round trip, although the 'electric' route is around 160. I arrived a bit early so I decided to hunt out some public chargers, the...

    Well it's been a long time coming, finally the mg4 will be delivered on Tuesday. Due to constant delays with delivery dates I haven't had chance to get a home charge point fitted. I wanted to gather people's thoughts on home charging vs public charging taking into account cost of charger and...
