Tesco, in partnership with electric vehicle (EV) charging company Pod, is now offering Clubcard points when customers charge their EVs in shop car parks.
Shoppers will now collect a Clubcard point for every pound spent on EV charging.
Tesco and Pod, formerly known as Pod Point, currently operate more than 2,600 EV charge points across 600 Tesco car parks.
Since partnering with Pod in 2019, EVs have been charged at Tesco shops 14.3 million times.
Shama Wilson, membership and loyalty director at Tesco Group, said: “Our customers have long been able to collect points on fuel from Tesco, but with an increasing number of drivers switching to electric vehicles we are delighted that shoppers will now be able to collect Clubcard points when they charge their cars at our stores, thanks to our exciting partnership with Pod.
“You can now park at your local Tesco and top-up your electric vehicle while you shop, in the knowledge that you are collecting Clubcard points towards a future Tesco shop or to exchange with one of our Reward Partners.”
EV owners can also earn 2,500 Clubcard points when signing up for Pod Drive, a home charging subscription, giving customers £25 worth of Clubcard vouchers to spend.
Pod Drive customers get a 7kW Pod charger installed, and 7,500 miles of annual free home charging, for £99 up-front, then £40 a month, saving £1,000 of up-front costs for charger installation.
Melanie Lane, CEO of Pod, said: “We’re thrilled to deepen our longstanding partnership with Tesco and provide an incentive for Clubcard members to make the switch to an EV and join over a quarter million customers that trust Pod with their charging needs.
“We know that the more that EVs blend with peoples’ everyday routines, the more it makes sense to go electric, and with our unique partnership we’re able to align drivers’ charging experiences across both home and public charging points.
“Fresh from repositioning the business as Pod and launching Pod Drive, we’re committed to building momentum and bringing our brilliant partners on our mission; to make EV charging easy and affordable for everyone.”
