Parisians voted in a referendum on Sunday on whether large SUVs should be subject to a threefold increase in parking charges as the French capital presses on with long-term plans to become a fully bikeable city.
The referendum, less than a year after city residents voted to ban e-scooters, aims to triple parking fees for cars of 1.6 tonnes and more to 18 euros ($19) an hour in order to discourage “bulky, polluting” cars, City Hall said.
The new tariff would also apply to electric cars of 2 tonnes and more.
“Heavier, more dangerous, more polluting … SUVs are an environmental disaster,” Deputy Mayor Emmanuel Gregoire said on X.

Nice, fuck every SUV
The tariff only applies to diesel and petrol vehicles that weigh over 1.6 tonnes, and electric vehicles that weigh over 2 tonnes. Read the post.
I don’t think there’s a gas SUV that weighs less than 1.6 tonnes, is there?
Only very few. The only one that comes to mind is the Audi Q3, but it’s actually a relatively safe car with a 5 star safety rating. Still… it’s an SUV.
Wish they’d do this here. So sick of these planet-killing microdickmobiles.
planet-killing microdickmobiles.
Saw a Ford F-250 recently… Why do people with micro dick energy feel they need these awful vehicles?
A mixture of being just comfortable enough with finances and vain enough to want to show it off combined with having extremely bad taste and wanting to own the libs

SUVs are a cancer. Good on France for discouraging them!
