The volta charge network (voltacharging.com), which has hundreds of chargers in the Mid-Atlantic, and could not get it to work. They seem to be mostly level 2, at eating and shopping locations, and many appear to be free, so would be a nice addition to my possible charging locations. There is one just down the street from where my kids live, so really nice. BUT...... I downloaded the app, and still no luck. The app does NOT show the Ford F-150 lightning as one of the possible list of EV's, even though they have the Ford E-transit, which is clearly a more recent vehicle, and shipping in even smaller numbers. I did call support to no avail, and emailed the information contact, so maybe things will change. Anyone else try/succeed/fail using a Volta site?

What would happen if you chose E-Transit or Mach E? I'm trying to think why this would matter to the chargers.

If the lightning is not in their list of vehicles yet, just choose the any vehicle. It doesn't make any difference to the actual charging cost or speeds.

Interesting. When I’ve charged at Volta’s free L2 chargers, I’ve just plugged in my Mach E and it started charging. Do you have to use an app now?

Same, just plug in and it works. This is on a Tesla Model Y, have not tried the Lightning yet.
I also have the app, but you don’t do anything with it, it’s not currently needed in order to charge.
