Clubcard members will now earn one point for every £1 spent charging at Pod Point's Vauxhall-branded chargers at Tesco stores.
Tesco says the move is part of its latest partnership with tech provider Pod Point.
EV drivers could also bag a whopping 2,500 Clubcard points by subscribing to Pod Point's all-inclusive home charging plan.
Charging bays are available at over 600 Tesco car parks across the UK.

Shama Wilson, Tesco's group membership and loyalty director, said: "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."
"We're thrilled to deepen our long-standing partnership with Tesco and provide an incentive for Clubcard members to make the switch to an EV and join over a quarter of a million customers that trust Pod with their changing needs," Pod CEO Melanie Lane added.
It comes after the supermarket giant revealed that it had hit 500,000 charges – providing more than 10 million miles of complimentary carbon neutral motoring.
Tesco, in partnership with Volkswagen and Pod Point, is installing free charging points at 600 supermarkets around the UK as part of their commitment to improving electric car charging infrastructure.

The partnership has now provided its 500,000th free top-up – and during this period three million kWh of free, carbon neutral electricity has been given out.
This is enough power to drive a new all-electric Volkswagen ID.4 SUV around 10.4 million miles.
You can now charge your electric car for FREE at Tesco with Volkswagen and Pod Point
Based on the average new petrol or diesel car sold in the UK, the scheme has reduced carbon emissions by approximately 2,120 tonnes - the same as more than 2,770 acres of forest will manage in a year.
The announcement was welcomed by Transport Secretary and EV owner Grant Shapps, who said: 'As we accelerate towards a cleaner and greener transport future, it's great to see one of Britain's most iconic household names leading the way with electric vehicle chargepoints.

'In the time it takes to pick up the groceries, drivers up and down the country can now quickly and easily charge their cars and with £2.5bn of government support to encourage their take-up, there has never been a better time to switch to an EV.'
The Tesco Extra in Slough has been the busiest supermarket for free charging - with the sockets used more than 10,000 times.
It finished ahead of Tesco supermarkets in Stourbridge, Crawley, Altrincham and Bromley by Bow in the top five.
Making up the rest of the top 10 were the Tesco supermarkets in Watford, Orpington, Elmers End, Havant and Lichfield.

Director of Volkswagen, Andrew Savvas, said: 'Our partnership with Tesco and Pod Point emphasises our commitment to carbon neutral mobility for all and we're delighted to have reached this milestone - helping owners of all electric car brands top up with free renewable energy while they're doing their grocery shop.'
Tony Hoggett, chief operating officer at Tesco, said: 'We are committed to reducing carbon emissions in all our operations and aim to be carbon neutral in the UK 2035.
'As part of this we want to encourage our customers to play their part with the rollout of free-to-use EV chargers to 600 of our stores.
'Providing customers with charging points offers them a sustainable choice and giving them the opportunity to charge their car for free while they shop is a little help to make this easier.'

But recently those prices have risen with the brand's popularity. However, if you are looking for high fashion inspired outfits with low price tags you needn't drag yourself to your local shops, just head to the supermarket instead. F&F has come a long way from selling a few backs of T-shirts and fluffy dressing gowns and is now a must have shopping destination for thousands. They produce good quality, long lasting and on trend clothes that puts others to shame. F&F is filled with Zara dupes and other looks inspired by our favourite shops that will set you back less than £50 - and you can get them while you pick up your dinner. I for one love F&F denim, it's durable, fits really well and has all the best silhouettes. So even if you're not looking for reasonable prices but just want good clothes, get yourself to Tesco. Posing with chic sunnies and heeled sandals, Chloe looked incredible - and was delighted to see that this dress too came with side pockets. Praising the brand, the shopper wrote in the caption: ''Ummmm hello TESCO you superstar - thanks for providing this pink dress, leopard shorts & the last dress is just sensational! ''All bought today so will all be fresh in stores for you!'' the fashionista wrote in the caption. 'I'm gonna have to run to Tesco' The new range has clearly impressed many, as the video - posted under the username @chloewarfieldx - has racked up over 216k views. As close to 8,000 people gave it a like, a further 124 flooded to comments, where one said: ''I'm gonna have to run to Tesco's for those leopard shorts.'' Someone else chimed in: ''Blue dress is 10/10.'' Another shopper said: ''bought the last dress today and it's honestly sooo gorgeous on. they do it in black as well and a gorgeous khaki green kinda colour too.''

Beloved luxury chocolate brand RETURNS to supermarkets after five years with new viral bar
Clubcard holders are being treated to a great discount CHOCO LOT Beloved luxury chocolate brand RETURNS to supermarkets after five years with new viral bar Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A LUXURY chocolate brand is marking its return to supermarkets with a limited edition flavour. Godiva, which is exclusively sold at high-end retailers like Harrods, will be flogging its Dubai-style chocolate bars at Tesco. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Godiva is stocked in high-end stores such as Harrods and Selfridges Credit: Dubai-style chocolate features layers of rich pistachio cream and crunchy kadayif pastry, encased in smooth milk chocolate. The 100-year-old Belgian brand is now owned by Pladis, which also has McVities and Jacob's in its repertoire. It was quick to jump on the Dubai chocolate bandwagon and in 2024, Pladis Türkiye launched it's own range which sold 3,000 tones in the first four months of launching. Godiva goodies haven't been available to the masses for five years and were only available in Harrods, Selfridges, and its Covent Garden flagship store. read more on tesco FIRE DEAL Tesco slashes the price of summer garden essential from £80 to £24 A Godiva spokesperson, said: 'Global influences are increasingly reshaping the snacking industry, as consumers seek more adventurous and authentic culinary experiences. "The popularity of Dubai-style chocolate is a clear example of how international flavours are crossing borders and becoming mainstream." Godiva's Dubai-inspired chocolate bar will be £10 or £7.95 for Clubcard customers in Tesco stores across the country. Back in 2017, Sainsbury's customers were treated to the luxury Belgian chocolate for just £1.50 per bar. The Godiva Masterpieces range included three chocolate bars - two milk chocolate treats with a smooth caramel filling and a creamy hazelnut praline filling and one dark chocolate bar with a ganache filling. This comes as Lidl launched a Dubai Style Chocolate Cream spread and it was in such high demand that the store placed a three-jar-per-person limit. The Della Sante Dubai Style Chocolate Cream spread combines the flavours of the insanely popular chocolate but in spreadable form. We've outdone ourselves with this one' say Cadbury Ireland as they reveal new limited edition bar 'coming soon That means you can slather it on toast, pile it onto pancakes, dip fruit in it or even spoon it from the jar. The sweet and salty pots cost £4.99 or £3.99 for Lidl Plus members, which is far more expensive than the store's other chocolate spreads. One shared a snap of the toast topping on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group. Followers flocked to the comment section to tag friends and family in the post. Lidl has said it will be available "while stocks last" - so you may want to get in quick. When Lidl launched its Dubai-style chocolate bar back in March, shoppers were queuing outside shops to get a taste. The Sun spotted a queue outside the Gosport, Hampshire, store at 8am with shoppers eagerly waiting for the doors to open. Chocolate fans have been going crazy for supermarket dupes of the expensive Dubai chocolate bars and they've been going viral on social media. Lidl's version was the cheapest when it was brought out at £3.99.
