Frequently asked questions

If you send the following details to us while waiting for your car to be delivered, you can finalise your loan and start making repayments:

In essence they are the same thing. Green car loans are simply personal loans for green cars (not only electric vehicles, but also hybrids - which are considered low emissions vehicles).
What's more significant than the name is whether they're secured or unsecured loans (secured against the car), what the interest rate is, and whether that's a fixed or variable rate.
If you already have finance for your electric or hybrid car with Westpac or a different lender, you can apply to refinance with a Westpac Electric Car Loan if you and your car meet our eligibility criteria. If your car loan is with another lender, a statement from the lender on the amount you still owe is required.
Take a look at whether the car you want is on our list of eligible hybrid or electric cars.
