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.
Tesco and Sainsbury's 'secret codes' revealed
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.

The customer said they were required to collect three stamps, and the fruit and veg purchase must be worth £5 or more each time they shop at the store. Save with secret codes It comes as Tesco has also launched Tesco Clubcard challenges, which gives customers specific spending targets and challenges with a chance to earn the extra points.

It is free to sign up and alongside challenges, you can also earn points in store that can be used as money off vouchers. You must also download the Tesco Clubcard app, which is available on the Apple and Google Play stores.

Billionaire owner of Willie Mullins' ‘very classy' new £300,000 horse confirmed and Cheltenham Festival target decided
She really could be anything MONEY TALKS Billionaire owner of Willie Mullins' 'very classy' new £300,000 horse confirmed and Cheltenham Festival target decided Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE billionaire owner of Willie Mullins' 'very classy' new £300,000 horse has been confirmed. And her Cheltenham Festival target has already been decided. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Willie Mullins and billionaire Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary had a public falling out a few years ago but they are big mates again now and could have a superstar on their hands in the shape of £300,000 Poetisa Credit: Sportsfile - Subscription The latest Horse Racing Ireland update showed Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary's Gigginstown House Stud as the owner of Poetisa. Mullins and right-hand man Harold Kirk saw off Nicky Henderson to land the Cheltenham winner at the Goffs sales in May. Formerly trained by Toby Bulgin, Poetisa won a mares' bumper at the home of jumps in April. Sent off 20-1 under former champion jockey Brian Hughes, she stayed on well up the hill after meeting trouble to win by a neck. Poetisa commanded a price tag of £42,000 as a three-year-old but her value soared after the Cheltenham victory. And Mullins clearly liked what he saw, with her pedigree suggesting big things lie in store in the future. Poetisa is from the same family as multiple Grade 1-winning superstar Macs Joy. The Jessica Harrington-trained hurdler won over half a million quid from 31 career races, which included nine victories. And O'Leary will be hoping for something similar from his newly-acquired mare. Gigginstown House were also listed as the new owners of French import Mino Des Mottes, who it is thought is also in training with Mullins. But it's Poetisa who Kirk has big hopes for. And he had already decided her target for the Festival when splashing the cash a few months ago. The bloodstock expert said: "She's a Cheltenham winner already and she'll only improve. "She was very classy when she won. She's a lovely mare and hopefully she'll go down the mares' route over hurdles as there's a big programme for these mares now." Poetisa can be backed at 10-1 for the Mares Novices' Hurdle, with Mullins' Champion Bumper winner Bambino Fever the 3-1 favourite.
