This is not about ICE vs EV, this is about big vs small. Opulent vs necessary. Like the mayor is quoted saying in the article: It's about "very expensive cars, driven by people who today have not yet made the changes to their behaviour that have to be made". Heavy cars pollute more with their tires and brakes. That is why even heavy electric cars are affected.

Sorry I don't get it. Heavy EVs pollute less than compact ICE vehicles. This is about the weight (and maybe price?) of cars, not about pollution. Maybe it's about cultural hatred of SUVs?
