Tesco has introduced a new way for customers across the UK to collect Clubcard points, and all they have to do is park their car while shopping.
Those with an electric vehicle will now be able to get those all-important points just by making use of the store's Pod electric vehicle chargers.
Tesco customers can now collect Clubcard points just by charging their EV
Points are collected for every pound spent at these Vauxhall-branded EV chargers at Tesco Extra and Tesco Superstore car parks across the country.
However, points earned through this scheme may not come through right away, with these likely to appear within seven days of the purchase.
According to The Metro, Shama Wilson, Tesco’s group membership and 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 with Pod.
"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."
There are around 2,600 charging bays at more than 600 Tesco stores in the UK.
What is Tesco Clubcard and how long has it been around for?
Tesco Clubcard is one of the most popular loyalty schemes in the UK and allows customers to collect points (which can be turned into vouchers) and make savings when shopping.
Discussing the scheme, Marketing Week said that it "revolutionised" the industry when it launched all the way back in 1995.

Around 12.7 million users were found to be making use of the app.
