Paris Votes To Triple Parking Charges For SUVs

Awesome, I hope this catches on, or at least serves as a tiny argument why egoists might not want to buy SUVs.
In our small town, you practically can't park an SUV on most parking spaces without reaching into the also-far-too-narrow sidewalk or street, but law enforcement is far too lenient for the egoists to care. -
GETTEM PARIS

What counts as an SUV? Suzuki LJ80? Lada Niva? Parking those costs more than parking a Rolls Royce Phantom or Lincoln Continental?
-
The prices will apply to vehicles weighing more than 1.6 tonnes with a combustion engine or hybrid vehicles, and more than 2 tonnes for electric vehicles. The move will not apply to Paris residents’ parking.
So sounds like it's weight based, which makes sense I think
-
Yeah, weight is really the best method.
-
Wouldn't it make more sense to base it on length and width? I'd assume there's already various taxes on fuel consumption, but in parking, length and width are what actually matters.
-
Which metric to use is also related to how they are going to enforce it. Surely they won’t weigh cars. It’s more realistic to base it on makes.
-
Since they say that the SUVs are "bad for the environment" I would have used the engine displacement or power.

All five of the Pariesians that have SUVs gonna be pissed!
-
This law doesn‘t apply to locals, only visitors.
-
Kinda, if they use their car to move around Paris (i.e. parking far from their home address) they'll have to pay the fee.
-
Yeah, this bit is unfortunate but understandable
-
-
There are lots of SUVs in Paris unfortunately. If you have kids and your car is a status symbol for you, SUVs are the default choice in France...

HA! TAKE THAT MAMAN FÚTBALL!

Paris complains sales down

Park your tank in the park and ride and use the public transport in the city. It's not hard to understand: https://www.parisfranceparking.com/news/park-and-ride-carpark-paris.html
