Clubcard points when they charge their cars at our stores, thanks to our exciting partnership with Pod.

with one of our Reward Partners."

Melanie Lane, CEO of Pod, said the brand was "thrilled" over the tie-up with the UK supermarket.

we're able to align drivers' charging experiences across both home and public charging points.

"Fresh from repositioning the business as Pod and launching Pod Drive, we're committed to building momentum and bringing our brilliant partners on our mission: to make EV charging easy and

affordable for everyone."
