⚡ EV Home Charger Special

Add home EV charging with no big up-front cost.

EV charger financing on its own often comes with higher rates. When you finance an EV home charger (up to $5,000*) through your auto loan instead, you can access a better rate and lower monthly payment by spreading the cost over time.

Plus, with our EV/hybrid loans, you’ll also get a .25% rate discount!

To get started, apply for an auto loan, and a loan officer will reach out to see if you’d like to also bundle financing for a home EV charger.

Apply Now

*Maximum charger cost of $5,000. Subject to credit approval. Available with eligible auto loans only. Offer subject to change or cancellation. Limited‑time offer.
