Petition launched to keep free parking for electric cars in Budapest
A new petition seeks to stop the planned end of free parking for electric vehicles in Budapest.
Organisers have started a petition opposing the upcoming rule that would charge electric cars for parking in the capital. The initiative invites Budapest residents to sign and submit the request to the city council for debate. Supporters argue that higher fees for heavier vehicles would disproportionately affect electric cars because of their battery weight.
Why it matters
The outcome could influence Budapest's electric-vehicle incentives and urban traffic policy.
