Sainsbury’s is iconic for its Nectar point system, which allows shoppers to get discounts on popular items.
Sometimes, points can even be used to get items for free.
Through that system, Sainsbury’s is offering EV drivers a chance to win one million Nectar points.
That’s the equivalent of £5000 in loyalty points to spend in-store or at Argos.
To be in for a chance of winning the points, EV drivers need to scan their Nectar card when using the Smart Charge electric vehicle charging system.
Drivers will be eligible to enter the competition from July 4 until July 20.
The huge campaign is the store’s “biggest ever” summer promotion.
It comes as the supermarket hopes to encourage drivers to use its Smart Charge business, which it has been rolling out since January 2024.
There are now 650 “ultra-rapid” charging bays at 75 of the UK’s stores.
Sainsbury’s also has plans for the charging bays to be expanded to more than 100 sites.
Patrick Dunne, Sainsbury’s chief property and procurement officer, said that the brand wants to make driving electric vehicles “affordable”.
He said: “Smart Change makes EV charging simple, reliable, accessible, and affordable for all EV drivers across the UK.
“We’re proud to be the UK’s first EV charging service to offer loyalty rewards from Nectar, the UK’s largest muli-partner loyalty programme at our charging hubs.”
Sainsbury’s regularly goes viral for its Nectar points scheme.
The supermarket launched a safety feature in February, which allows shoppers to “lock” their points.
That prevents them from getting deleted or stolen.
In 2025, the Daily Mail revealed that 12 million Nectar card points had been stolen – which were worth a total of £63,000.
