At Countdown's New Zealand stores, shoppers can charge while they shop for free with plenty of level 2 chargers and parking spots.

I used to love getting my Woolworths shopping docket — it had a voucher on it for 4 cents off a litre of petrol, 8 cents off if you used a Woolies-branded servo . Now, it is just a piece of paper, because I drive electric. Can’t wait until Australian supermarkets follow the example of Sainsbury’s in the UK and Countdown in New Zealand and install free chargers for customers so they can charge while they shop. Interestingly enough, Countdown is owned by Australia’s Woolies.

The new Countdown store at Waiata Shores Takanini has put in 14 type 2 chargers all in a row. They are slow and you have to bring your own cable, but they are free. The locals think it’s “a pretty impressive move by Countdown,” says Sean White of . “I long to see the day that all 14 are being used by savvy Countdown shoppers getting free kms while shopping.”Other comments included: “We live there and although having a home charger we sometimes plug in while we do our grocery shopping. Need to use your own cable. The supermarket is a new ‘green’ one.”Plenty of chargers for everyone at Countdown.
