Frequently asked questions

What is the interest rate on Bank Australia EV car loan?

We offer a low-rate Electric Vehicle Loan with a fixed interest rate for the life of the loan, so there are no repayment surprises. We also reward greener vehicles through a reduced rate, with no establishment fee and no ongoing fees on eligible green car loans.

What is the difference between an EV car loan and a personal loan?

While a personal loan is more general purpose, our EV car loan is specifically for buying (or refinancing) a fully electric vehicle, with a lower interest rate to reward customers who choose EVs. 

Can I get an EV car loan for a used electric vehicle?

Yes. You can use our EV car loan to buy a new or used electric vehicle (up to 7 years old).

What cars qualify for the electric vehicle loan?

Only fully electric vehicles (EVs) are eligible. We define a fully electric vehicle as one without an internal combustion engine, which excludes hybrid and plug‑in hybrid vehicles. Read more about the facts, benefits and types of electric vehicles in Australia.

What do I need to apply?

To apply, you’ll need to meet our basic eligibility criteria, including being 18 years or older, an Australian resident or holding a relevant visa, and having a regular source of income. We’ll also ask for information about your finances and the vehicle you’re planning to purchase as part of the application, according to responsible lending regulations.

Can I pay off my EV loan early?

Yes. You can pay extra whenever you like without penalty, and you can pay your loan off early.

Why does Bank Australia only provide electric car loans and not loans for new hybrid or fossil fuel vehicles?

Encouraging customers to think about their next vehicle purchase is an important part of Bank Australia’s climate action commitments and we ceased car loans for new fossil fuel vehicles in 2025.  Passenger cars and light commercial vehicles alone contribute to 60% of our transport emissions and over 10% of Australia’s total emissions. Electric vehicles are a ready-to-deploy technology so electrifying passenger vehicles can be a fast contributor to Australia’s climate goals. 

Why does Bank Australia still lend for second hand fossil fuel vehicles?

We’re aware that we need to support people not yet able to afford an electric vehicle while the market grows. We’ll continue to offer loans for second hand fossil fuel vehicles until there is an accessible market for electric vehicles. 

Continuing to support customers to buy second hand cars can help to avoid new fossil fuel cars entering the market.
