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
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.

Yeah, weight is really the best method.

Weight matters to the maintenance of the parking spaces too.
I’d assume that lack of space is a lot more critical than maintenance costs in Paris.
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.
