The Municipality of Vilnius has abolished the concession for hybrid cars

The Municipality of Vilnius has canceled the privilege of more than three months, which allowed the construction of free hybrid cars

The city council adjusted the rates for the parking rules Wednesday, leaving this exemption only for electric cars. The refusal to allow the construction and charging of hybrid cars in the capital was free since early April, when, according to the order of the Minister of the Interior, only the marking of electric vehicles was used to mark public numbers – the letters EV –

The municipal representatives claim that the decision of the municipality has distorted the purpose of Vilnius Municipality to promote environmentally friendly and environmentally friendly transport since the charging of hybrid cars Unlike electric cars use fossil fuels.

The owners of extremely "carrion" used cars

The editor-in-chief of Top Gear magazine Karolis Judzentavicius Alfa.lt stated that he supported the municipality the According to him In April 1945, the procedure for issuing the state numbers marked with letters EV began to be issued not only to electric cars, but also to hybrids recharged in a network, creating an ambiguous situation since they were entitled to the same advantages, ie y Free parking of your vehicles in paid areas

" For this reason, the streets began to increase exponentially the number of hybrids with EV, and among them there is powerful and impetuous models Engines, – K. Judzentavičius says – It is clear that the city council of Vilnius can only devote itself to real electric cars, namely: • vehicles powered solely by the battery These cars do not emit any pollutant gas while driving "

The editor of Top Gear noted that the load of the hybrids of the network can also be powered only by electricity, but the load is usually covered from 10 km to 50 km – after which the internal combustion engine starts. It can also engage in other situations – for example, during the cold season or when the accelerator is squeezed more strongly.

"So, while only operating on electricity, a hybrid charging network does not pollute nature, but it's not possible to control whether its owner is traveling only" 39; with the battery energy – it's a matter of conscience.After all, this type of hybrid can never be recharged, and it will work like a cyclist, burning out of the air. 39, gasoline (or diesel), "said an auto specialist

" There is no doubt that these benefits do not benefit.On the other hand, I have no doubt that There are also drivers who use cell hybrids in urban areas like electric cars, ride only with electricity and constantly recharge their batteries, and I think that in this case a compromise would be necessary – the owners fully electric cars should be free and drivers of e network recharge could benefit from a significant discount for the annual parking permit. After all, their cars, although not entirely green emit a less harmful gas than similar petrol and diesel variants, "said K. Judzentavičius
