Electrify America and 3 year charging help!

Advanced
I decided to try EA charger for the first time yesterday just to see how they worked and find out if me or my 4S was set up properly! I looked for the plug and charge menu on my PCM but couldn’t find it! So I just opened the Charge NA app and selected the location at the Walmart near my home and pulled into one of 4 charging spaces. The first attempt to charge would not work and the pump kept asking me for a credit card. Then I noticed that the charging cable I selected didn’t have a green dot next to it in my app but the other cable did have a green light in the app, so I changed cables selected the other pump in the app and boom she started charging! After a coke and an order of nachos at Del Taco, about 15 mins my car went from 65% to 92% easy peasy. I don’t know if the plug and charge feature on my car is selected or not since I can’t seem to find it! Overall for me once I figured out that some stations may be inop or not compatible and use the app to select the right station it worked well!

Plug and charge is in the "3 dot" charging menu. Press charge/charging button on home screen then press the 3 dots in the lower left of the screen.

I have an Electrify America App
The App has my login info and Taycan info
Can I launch a "Free" charging session with this Electrify America App?
Does the Electrify America App allow a "Free" plug and charge experience?

Plug and Charge!
Upon plugging my Taycan into The EA 350 KW station, I was greeted by a "Initializing a free session" message !
Could not have been any friendlier or easier !

I went to three different 350kw EA stations today. The car was about 15-25% at the beginning of each charging session, None went above 139kwh?
what are you guys getting at the standard 150kwh stations? I’m wondering if it makes a difference which one to go to.
