Low-interest EV loans offered for workers earning less than $100k | ABC News

Workers earning less than $100,000 a year will be able to purchase electric vehicles using low-interest loans that the federal government says will save them thousands of dollars in interest. Essential workers like police officers, teachers, fire fighters and nurses will also be able to access the loans regardless of income. The loans will be on offer through Commownealth Bank for new and used electric vehicles worth up to $55,000. The government says the loans will be offered at interest rates up to 5 percentage points lower than the standard rate, which could save more than $8,000 in interest for a $40,000 loan repaid over seven years.

Canberra to Hobart and return

Canberra to Hobart and return

Many Australians are currently opting to buy new hybrid cars, presumably because they lack confidence in Australia’s highway charging infrastructure. These people should do more research, and a good place to start would be the road trip reports on the AEVA website. We have now done three highway trips in our MG4 during 2024, with a total of more than 6000 km travelled. We have found the charging infrastructure in southeastern Australia to be completely adequate for our needs, while acknowledging that our journeys were not made at peak holiday times.
