Just be careful that those cars are not too heavy. Since this law says 1.6t , a Toyota Camry qualifies as an SUV

Not a lot of Camrys in Europe, but I get your point. I think this law needs some revisions. Charging based on how many empty seats are in your vehicle upon entry and exit of the city, may be a better way.
