Paige Estritori presents this weeks finance news wrap, covering loan recommendations and the growing practicalities of electric vehicle charging. A review of mortgage broker recommendations has raised concerns about borrowers paying more than necessary. Compare loans by their total cost—including fees and ongoing charges—and ask brokers to explain why a product suits your needs. The same applies to business finance, where small cost differences can add up over time. The episode also explores charging considerations for businesses financing electric trucks, including equipment, electricity, installation and potential downtime. Proposed changes to strata EV charging arrangements in New South Wales may affect apartment owners costs, access and building infrastructure. Across both stories, the message is to look beyond upfront prices, ask clear questions and assess the full costs before committing.
