Electric cars in Paris
In Paris, pollution "kills more than tobacco". To reduce this pollution, the use of electric cars is highly encouraged in the capital: they are a non-polluting alternative to combustion-powered vehicles. What's more, electric cars make no noise. This is perfect for local residents, who see the pollution and noise pollution of Paris diminish.
Paris City Council is encouraging the use of these vehicles with a number of initiatives. The aim: to encourage users to abandon gasoline and diesel vehicles.
As of 2021, more than 47 communes in Greater Paris have banned the most polluting vehicles ( Crit'Air 5 vehicles). So far, there have been no sanctions: this is a period of education. But from 2021, you won't be able to drive around in certain vehicles (Crit'air 5 vehicles). The more time passes, the more vehicles will be affected by this driving ban. Several European cities have already introduced this system, notably Barcelona, which has banned all polluting vehicles to combat pollution.
