Update to the Electric Circuit App

[RiverBrick]

Some new features are being offered by the Electric Circuit (known principally as Le Circuit Électrique in Quebec).

Interesting that the Flo app hasn't been updated in kind (at least on iOS) since AddEnergie builds both and Flo is their self-owned network whereas Electric Circuit is a "contract" network that they run for Quebec. Excited for the `Automatic transfer of funds to your account` feature which I assume means auto top-up of your cards when they get below a certain amount.

By "Quebec" do you meant the provincial government? If so why do they have EC sites in Ontario?

It's Hydro-Québec specifically, and I believe I remember hearing that a few ON cities contracted out to them to add sites for a reason that I cannot remember.

They certainly have sites outside of Quebec - there is one in Kemptville, ON south of Ottawa PlugShare - Find Electric Vehicle Charging Locations Near You

Oh absolutely, I use an EC station near my apartment in Ottawa on a weekly basis. My comment was simply surprise that EC got the new features before Flo since Flo is the 'primary' network of AddEnergie and EC is a network they run for a customer.
