« The Welsh capital is following in the footsteps of Paris, which last year tripled parking charges for SUV-style vehicles, leading to a two-thirds reduction in the number of SUVs using surface parking. »

TIL Paris also had this premium charge, hopefully this becomes a new trend everywhere

For those unaware: [...] SUVs were “much larger than your average car, they produce far more wear and tear on our roads, but fundamentally if you hit a child while driving a heavy SUV the chances of that child dying are grossly inflated".

Which other cities do you know that have also introduced higher parking charges on larger vehicles?
