Australian EV charging platform partners with retail giant’s rewards program

Leading Australian electric vehicle (EV) charging platform Chargefox announced today that it is partnering with Everyday Rewards to offer members Everyday Rewards points when they charge their EVs.

Everyday Rewards is the customer loyalty program for the Woolworths Group in Australia and New Zealand and provides points on shops across a range of company and affiliated brands.

In Australia, Everyday Rewards boasts 18 partners including the obvious ones including Woolworths, Big W, and BWS, but also includes Qantas, Bupa, and Origin.

That list will now include Chargefox, Australia’s largest and fastest growing EV charging network.

Chargefox already boasts over 100 EV charging plugs located across 25 Woolworths stores around Australia and has promised more to come. Now, those same Woolworths EV chargers will offer up Everyday Rewards points when customers charge their EVs.

“We are thrilled to be working with Woolworths to offer Everyday Rewards points,” said Ed Asuncion, executive general manager at Chargefox.

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

A full list of Woolworths EV charging locations can be found below, but are predominantly located across New South Wales and Queensland, with a handful in Victoria and two in Western Australia.

Everyday Rewards members need only to add their membership details to their Chargefox profile and they will be eligible to collect 1 Everyday Rewards point for every $1 spent on charging at all Woolworths EV chargers available on Chargefox.

“With around 300,000 EVs 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,” a Woolworths spokesperson said.

    • New South Wales; Ashfield North, Bomaderry, Cameron Park, Chatswood East, Fairy Meadow, Kellyville Grove, Kiama Village, Kirrawee Basement, Leppington Village, Metro Mosman, North Parramatta, and Yass.
