Tesco and Pod (formerly known as Pod Point) have extended their partnership so that consumers using electric vehicle chargers at the retailer’s stores can earn Clubcard points.
Clubcard members can now collect a point for every pound spent on charging at Pod’s Vauxhall-branded chargers at Tesco shops.
As part of the extended tie-up, electric vehicle drivers can also receive 2,500 Clubcard points by signing up to Pod’s new all-inclusive home charging subscription Pod Drive as a new customer. These points are worth £25 when converted into Clubcard Vouchers to spend at Tesco, or £50 when doubled in value with more than 100 Clubcard reward partners.
Pod Drive is the first new offering following Pod Point’s rebrand to Pod.
To access the Clubcard points deal with Pod Drive, consumers must start their order on Pod’s website – and then as part of the process, they will need to sign into their Tesco Clubcard account to link their order and receive their points.
Pod has been working in partnership with Tesco since 2019 and its partnership with Tesco and Vauxhall operates more than 2,600 EV charging bays at more than 600 Tesco store car parks across the UK.
Pod said that electric vehicles have been charged at Tesco stores more than 14.3 million times so far.
Shama Wilson, Tesco’s group membership & loyalty director, 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.
“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.”
Pod’s CEO Melanie Lane added: “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.”
