[Edited and took out my first request as I solved that on my own]

Second: can the EV enthusiasts here recommend Canadian based or even more local forums I can join? I've found the Tesla Ottawa Owners Club forum but it's pretty quiet.
Congrats! I strongly second CyrusKafaiwu's recommendation of PlugShare and A Better Route Planner. As for charging network apps, figure out which networks you are most likely to use and install those. Some to choose from are (though I am sure there are others):
  • Flo,
  • ElectricCircuit,
  • ChargePoint,
  • myEVRoute,
  • Electrify Canada,
  • Ivy, and
  • SWITCH

You also might want to consider joining the Electric Vehicle Council of Ottawa. They offer a free trial membership.
