How to apply for a Westpac Electric Car Loan

1. Check eligibility

Make sure that you and your car meet the requirements.

2. Simple application 

Complete online application: To make it faster, we'll fill in the information we have about you if you're an existing customer.

Submit application: In 60 seconds, you'll know if you're conditionally approved, which means you know how much you could borrow.

3. Give us your car details 

Before we can approve your application, we'll first need to verify your: 

  • Order Agreement: The Order Agreement document containing the Order Number that you received after placing your order for the car with Tesla
  • Car Invoice: If the car invoice is already generated by Tesla, we may get it directly from them using the Order Agreement that you share with us. This is needed for the final verification of the car that you are purchasing and offering as security on the loan

We'll email you: To confirm if your application's been approved. 

Review and accept contract: You can do this securely online. We'll then transfer the loan funds to Tesla. If you've opted to borrow more than the car’s value, the remaining funds will be transferred to your nominated account. Note: You should not accept your loan contract more than 5 days before your car delivery date so that your monthly repayments do not start early.

The calculation is not an offer of credit. The amount you can borrow may vary once you complete a loan application and all the details relevant to our lending criteria are captured and verified. The calculations should not be relied on for the purpose of making a decision whether to apply for a personal loan. Weekly and fortnightly repayment calculations - if your monthly repayments are $1000, fortnightly repayments are calculated by dividing $1000 by 2 and rounding up if required ($1000/2 = $500). Weekly repayments are calculated by dividing $1000 by 4 and rounding up if required ($1000/4 = $250).
