Sainsbury’s to offer Nectar points to customers using its ultra-rapid EV charging service
Sainsbury’s has announced that customers using its ultra-rapid EV charging service Smart Charge will be able to collect Nectar points.
The move means the Smart Charge is the first EV charging service in the UK to offer a national loyalty scheme.
From the end of this month, all Smart Charge customers with active Nectar accounts will be able to charge their electric vehicle and collect one Nectar point for every pound spent.
The news coincides with the launch of the retailer’s 50th Smart Charge EV charging location in the UK at its Enfield superstore where there are now 12 new bays.
The initiative will be rolling out to all sites between 12 and 24 June.
Patrick Dunne, Sainsbury’s director of property, procurement & EV ventures, said: “Today marks a huge milestone for our Smart Charge business as we become the first EV charging provider to offer customers loyalty benefits from a UK leading loyalty programme, Nectar.
“With bays in more locations than ever before, and Sainsbury’s stores conveniently placed far and wide, it has never been easier for EV drivers across the UK to access ultra-rapid facilities, and now they can reap the benefit of Nectar points too.
“Our Enfield store is a fantastic location, in a popular residential area of North London and near main roads, making it an ideal spot for our 50th location.”
