When you read the article:

-It's currently €30/y for a permit and due to a change in law they're changing that to €120 for everyone.

-For anyone over 1800KG, that becomes €180/y. So "heavy car" drivers pay 1.5x what a lightweight car driver pays

-That limit is increased to 2000kg for EVs. That does mean that a early adopters who drive a Model S are likely to pay the increase tariff as well.

Sure, still not a bad idea but quite far removed from the oneliner "raising the parking fee 6x for SUVS"

Ah, I now see another article that states it is 6x more than the country's average. So it seems it has to do more about this specific city than SUVs.
