Parisians vote to treble parking charges for large SUVs to €18 an hour in green drive
Parisians voted on Sunday to muscle 4x4s off the French capital’s streets by making them much more expensive to park from the autumn, the latest leg in a drive by Socialist Mayor Anne Hidalgo to make the host city for this year’s Olympic Games greener.
Parisians voted yes to a tripled parking fee for SUVs and other heavier cars. Now the price is increased significantly to park the largest vehicles in the city center — up to 200 SEK per hour.
