Tesco has announced an upgrade to its Clubcard scheme that will allow customers to earn points when charging their electric vehicles. The supermarket has partnered with charging network EV, which has joined as a points partner, meaning members can earn one point for every £1 spent at any of its charge points.
The scheme covers more than 680 EV locations across the UK, with over 2,500 charging bays. The network, established in Greater Manchester in 2019, is among the top 10 largest UK networks by rapid and ultra-rapid charging bays, according to Tesco.
To take advantage of the new rewards, Clubcard members need to link their account with the EV charging app. Once linked, points are collected automatically, so the UK's 24 million Clubcard members do not need to take any further action each time they charge. The points can be converted into Clubcard vouchers for money off shopping at Tesco or with more than 100 Clubcard Reward Partners.
Shama Wilson, Tesco's Group Membership and Loyalty Director, said: "We are always looking for new ways for Clubcard members to be able to collect Clubcard points and are delighted to announce our new partnership with EV, allowing Clubcard members to collect points when they charge their vehicles at thousands of charging bays across the UK."
"With more and more Tesco shoppers opting for electric vehicles, we are sure that many of our customers will be excited by this latest addition to Clubcard," she added.
Asif Ghafoor, CEO of EV, said: "This is about making the switch to electric genuinely worth it. Drivers are already charging on these journeys, but now every charge means they can collect Clubcard points which they can spend on their weekly shop or a day out."
Tesco has also installed EV rapid chargers at several of its Express stores, allowing drivers to charge their vehicles while doing a quick shop.

AI-extracted; can misattribute a claim — see Methodology.
Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status is Contested when two claims on this page negate each other; otherwise it counts the mastheads we found asserting that specific claim — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
