Woolworths Everyday Rewards loyalty program extended to EV charging

Australian supermarket giant Woolworths has announced customers will be able to score Woolworths Everyday Rewards loyalty points whenever they use Chargefox.

Woolworths offers Chargefox battery charging facilities at 20 of its stores nationwide – with 100 chargers in total installed – where shoppers can charge their vehicle while doing the groceries. 

“We’re always looking for new ways to offer our members more value across all their everyday needs,” Woolworths said in a statement.

“With around 300,000 EVs [electric vehicles] on the roads in Australia, this partnership offers members the perfect opportunity to collect points as they charge their car whilst doing their weekly shop.”  100s of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now.

Customers can start collecting points by adding their Woolworths Everyday Rewards details to their Chargefox profile.  “We are thrilled to be working with Woolworths to offer Everyday Rewards points,” said Chargefox executive general manager Ed Asuncion in a statement.

“Woolworths EV chargers have already proven to be very popular, with thousands of drivers using them every month.”

The supermarket chain is expected to roll out more charging infrastructure across its more than 1100 outlets in Australia, while – like rival Coles – using electric trucks for its delivery fleet.

Chargefox has also worked with Coles in providing EV charging facilities, with both supermarkets committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 across their businesses. 

The charging company was formed in 2017 with the goal of expanding infrastructure across the country including 350kW rapid chargers. 

According to its website, Chargefox provides access to more than 2200 public charging plugs in Australia, with its app downloaded more than 170,000 times and its network facilitating 5000 charges daily.
