Why buy a hybrid or electric vehicle?

The cars on our roads account for around 11% of all greenhouse gas emissions in Australia. By choosing an electric or hybrid car, you’re helping to lower emissions and protect our world. 

The LEV Car Loan is our way of saying thanks on behalf of the planet. We want to reward you for choosing an LEV (low emission vehicle) by offering a green car loan with a lower interest rate and no fees.
