Electric Car Loan FAQs
Just like any other car, you can finance an electric vehicle for anywhere between 1-7 years, depending on the lender you choose and their loan term offerings. At loans.com.au, we typically offer electric vehicle loans for a term of 3, 4 or 5 years.
There are a number of government incentives to buy an electric car, many of which vary depending on your state or territory. Incentives sometimes include a reduction in stamp duty, or even a full waiver of the stamp duty charge, offers for free registration for a short period of time, and sometimes cash rebates. It’s best to check your local government websites, as these offers are frequently changing.
Depending on your personal financial circumstances such as your credit score, your ability to pay back the loan and the lender you choose, you may be eligible for an electric vehicle loan, similar to any other car loan.
Typically to be eligible for a car loan, you’ll need to hold Australian citizenship or permanent residency, be over the age of 18, and earning some income. There may be further eligibility requirements depending on which lender you go with. It is best to seek a pre-approval from your lender to determine your eligibility.
