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.

    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. ??

    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...

    First experience of public charging...

    Received my MG4 on Thursday. Long trip to deepest darkest Lancashire week after next so wanted to try public charging before then. Today I went to Wimpole Hall, a national trust place 20 miles from me. Got there just before opening time thinking it would be quiet but found all the EV charging...

    Mg4 new owner

    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...

    First public charging - nervous?

    In June, I'll need to make a return journey of 350 miles (without the wife as a passenger) but have never needed to use public chargers on shorter sub 200 mile trips. TBH, I'm bricking it. I know I shouldn't worry but having never done it before, it's the unknown that gets me. Zap Map has...

    Public Charging session ended - Autohold & Low-voltage Battery faults showing

    I decided to try a couple of public chargers this morning, the first being a fast charger where I used my type 2 cable. It may have been my fault for not pulling out the cables in the right order or not pressing something on the infotainment screen, but I took the connector out of the car first...

    A difficult journey highlights issues with UK public charging infrastructure.

    Firstly, sorry this is a bit of a long one. I would like to start by saying I love driving EV’s (I’m on my third one now) and would not go back to fossils. This is my experience on Sunday of driving to London and back and the problems I encountered. (You can skip to my thoughts at the end if...

    MG5 public charging, slow charging

    Hi all, this is probably me being ignorant so bere with me. We have really used public chargers over the 18months of owning our MG5, and have never had an issue until yesterday. We drove some 180miles, charging once on the M6 on a 50KW no issues, then on the return 180mile journey we tried to...

    Pod Point public charging newbie problem

    Just got back from a trip of about 220 miles. Obviously with long range didn't need to charge (good job) but as the hotel had two Pod Point charge points I thought I would give it a bit of a top up just in case of any issues on the way back. Had £5 credit on my Pod Point account so, plugged...

    Public Charging Experience

    Traveling from Chelmsford Essex to Chinley Derbyshire - 198 miles. This was our first long journey in our MG5 LR. Indeed out first EV long journey! Theoretically we should be able to do this on one charge but I had my suspicions that this would not be possible - I was proved right! I planned to...

    Public Charging Prices(2022)

    Hi all, I received little update from MER and expect more companies to follow suit with the rising energy cost crisis. Thought it would be ideal thread starter. See below screenshot.

    Public Charging - Very very slow!

    Hi All! I have just purchased a new HS PHEV and I love it. I have been using the granny charger for home charging which has been reliable. I have tried 3 times (on 2 separate chargers) to use public charging, however I am finding that the lock for the charging cable continues to make a locking...
