I have read more than a few posts now re folk asking how to select a charger from within the newly updated MyPorsche app - I have had 100% success to date with PNC (wherein you simply arrive at a station and plug your car in and charging initiates automatically) and have not had to use the in app Charge station select feature but it is very easy to get to (albeit possibly one step being somewhat cryptic), as follows:
NOTE: A known bug in the app as of Feb 7 2022 and counting is that you should not try to filter for stations that support Plug and Charge - if you do this basically all the stations will disappear! It appears that that functionality is not up and running as yet.
STEP 1 - go to Map view, and first SELECT THE PUMP/CHARGER icon (as highlighted below) to display all local charging stations and tap the station you're interested in or physically at - the icon will change to show available or occupied chargers. KEY here is that you also see the physical address at bottom of screen and an option to send this address to your car.
Note: as pointed out by madeyong doing a destination box search here will show all stations however you do not get to see the kW nor number of EVSEs etc via this method (either a bug or a not very useful feature - can send that destination to your car and use for trip routing and battery conditioning I guess).
STEP 2: The 'cryptic' piece I mentioned is that the next step is to tap on the address or kW icon in this first (Map) screen shown above (not the send button) and this brings up the available charger types at that location as follows:
STEP 3: Now select the charger type you wish to use by tapping it in the above screen and you get a list of EVSE IDs as in the screen below - you'll also see an option to unlock via app:
STEP 4: Select in the above screen the charger/unit ID which you wish to use and you get this next screen allowing you to start the charging session:

PNC as mentioned above is THE simplest way to charge - literally pull up and plug in - everything else taken care of and you'll see your 'contract' displayed on the charging unit and of course zero cost to you whilst active.
