Paris to triple parking fees for heavy SUVs, but efficient hybrids to be caught in firing line
A new law tripling parking fees in Paris for vehicles above set weight thresholds is intended to discourage SUVs – but will also penalise drivers of hybrid hatchbacks and sedans capable of zero-emissions driving.
The higher prices affects petrol, diesel, hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles weighing more than 1600kg, electric vehicles weighing more than 2000kg, and "visitors owning an SUV exceeding the regulatory weight," according to the Paris city council.
(Although Ev should have the same 1,600kg weight category ----but then they would be EVEN MORE useless than what they already are.)
