If you’re thinking of lowering your carbon footprint and reducing your car emissions with an Electric or Hybrid Car in the near future we have a discounted Green Car Loan for you.
This new discounted Green Car Loan rate of 6.5% (APR 6.7%) can be used to fund a new or second hand Electric or Hybrid Car as well as a home charger unit if desired. The amount of your Green Car Loan can be up to €75,000 and the loan can be repaid over a term of up to 5 years.
The above Green Car Loan rate is discounted compared to our regular Car Loan rate at 9.9% (10.34% APR) and our Car Loans Plus rate at 8.2% (8.49% APR).
As well as doing your bit for the environment, driving an electric vehicle is great for your pocket too. There are generous grants, reduced motor tax rates and registration tax relief for qualifying vehicles.
You may be entitled to a grant from the SEAI (Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland) if you buy a new electric car. A maximum grant of €3,500 is currently available for qualifying new M1 (passenger car) battery electric vehicles (BEVs) when purchased privately. The grant which ranges from €1,500 to €3,500 is for approved EVs with a full purchase price of €14,000 to €60,000. Please note that SEAI grants are not available for used EVs.
Please see the SEAI website for further details on the grants available.
You can also claim up to €300 towards the purchase and installation of an electric vehicle charger unit at your home. The Electric Vehicle Home Charger Grant is a government funded support scheme assisting residents and homeowners to install an electric vehicle charge point on their property.
