Shoppers will now be able to collect Tesco Clubcard points when they top-up their electric car on a visit to the supermarket, thanks to an expanded partnership between Tesco and Pod – the company previously known as PodPoint.

Clubcard members can now collect a point for every pound spent on charging at Pod’s Vauxhall-branded chargers at Tesco stores.
Drivers can now also get 2,500 Clubcard points by signing up to Pod’s new all-inclusive home charging subscription Pod Drive1. The 2,500 Clubcard points are worth £25 when converted into vouchers to spend at Tesco, or £50 when doubled in value with Clubcard Reward Partners.

Pod Drive is the first new offering following Pod Point’s rebrand to Pod, and spreads the upfront costs of getting a home charger. This gives up to 7,500 miles worth of power and a home charger for a flat fee of £40 per month, with an upfront cost of £99 – potentially offering a decent saving compared to paying upfront for a charger unit.

Pod Point chargers, including on the public network, will retain their product branding and sit alongside the Pod Drive proposition under the new Pod brand. Pod (Point) has been working in partnership with Tesco since 2019 and today operates more than 2,600 EV charging bays at more than 600 Tesco store car parks across the UK.

Since the partnership began, EVs have been charged at Pod Points at Tesco stores more than 14.3 million times. The costs are currently 44p/kWh for a 7kW, rising to 69p for the 75kW rapids.
