Like GP mentioned, tires also pollute via abrasion.
> 2 tons is just slightly heavier than a Tesla Model Y, a compact SUV barely large enough for a family of 4
A Model Y by Parisian scale is a incredibly huge car. French (and honestly most European) families get by with VW Golf sized car.
- jupp0r 3y agoWhat does the size of the car have to do with pollution? My point was that EVs (even 2 ton EVs) cause much less pollution than even very compact ICE cars. If the parking fees are about the size of cars, then they should be taxed by volume or footprint area.
- kehrin 3y agoBecause heavy electric cars still pollute more than light electric cars through tire and brake particles. Taxing by size would be neat, but I understand that that would make the calculation even more complicated.
