Range anxiety shapes EV routing in ways standard navigation was never built to handle. Contour's Road Quality Score (RQS) applies an EV-specific model to every road in Victoria - weighting elevation change and regenerative braking opportunity alongside surface quality and traffic - so the roads that score highest also work hardest for your battery. Measured at 500m resolution across 40+ signals.

Alpine roads close June to September - Great Alpine Road, Mount Hotham, Falls Creek. Yarra Ranges, Great Ocean Road, and Grampians roads are year-round. Best riding in spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) when traffic is lighter.
The EV profile within Contour's Road Quality Score (RQS) weights elevation change and regenerative braking opportunity more heavily than the sports car profile. Roads with significant descents score higher because they recover more range. Surface quality and traffic density also factor in - a smooth sealed road with low truck traffic gives a cleaner, more efficient drive. The score runs 0 to 10 at 500m resolution.
