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.

    Public charging point problem

    Took my MG4 Trophy LR on a longish (for us) run from Essex to Dorset on Tuesday 11th Feb, a distance of about 150 miles. We stopped a Fleet services on the M3 to top up; I probably could have made it in one go but would have arrived with very little remaining charge. Plenty of chargers available...

    Public charging @ 20p /kWh anyone lol

    My local council is putting loads of new chargers in and this one just came on line. Considering the same charger one street over is 54p I am guessing this is a mistake but as someone who relies 100% on public charging it would be rude to not take advantage before they notice.

My cable is type 2 to type 2. Last time I used a public 22kW charger it only charged at 7kW? 😕 Is it because I...

    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...

    MG EV ZS

    I am currently charging my new car for the first time at a public Pod point. It has been on for just over 4hours at 22kW I think. I had to put some money onto my account so loaded £10. How much do you think it will charge if I disconnect soon. ??
