Electric vehicle (EV) drivers using Sainsbury’s ultra-rapid charging service, Smart Charge, can now collect Nectar points with their charges. Customers with active Nectar accounts will earn one Nectar point for every £1 spent on Smart Charge.
Nectar, a multi-partner loyalty scheme, allows users to spend points at various consumer brands, including Sainsbury’s, Argos, and British Airways. EV drivers without a Nectar account can easily register via the Nectar app or website, or obtain a card in Sainsbury’s stores and register it at home.
Patrick Dunne, Sainsbury’s Director of Property, Procurement, and EV Ventures, announced: “Rolling out across June, customers using any of our 400 Smart Charge bays across the country will now be able to benefit from collecting Nectar points to spend on their favourite brands.”
This announcement coincides with the launch of Sainsbury’s 50th Smart Charge EV charging location, with 12 new bays now available at the Sainsbury’s London Enfield Superstore.
“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,” Dunne continued.
“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.”
Smart Charge is the only fully owned and end-to-end managed EV charging business by a UK supermarket. This service aims to promote the uptake of electric vehicles in the country, making access to charging on the go more convenient and supporting the UK’s transition to a low-carbon economy.
