The suggestion given by the Paris City Hall is to triple the parking fees for fuel vehicles (including hybrids) weighing 1.6 tons and above and electric vehicles above 2 tons, to 18 euros per hour in the city center and 12 euros per hour in peripheral areas.
According to official results, some 54.5% of Parisians voted in favor and 45.5% against.
Some netizens said that the streets and car roads in Paris are not very wide, and large SUVs occupy a relatively large car lane. In addition, there are not many buildings, supermarkets or residential areas with underground garages in the parking lot, so the parking fee for large SUVs is also the most expensive. 18 euros an hour is more in line with the traffic parking fee in Paris.
