E-cars: Particulate matter emissions higher than those of combustion engines

Driving bans in the Netherlands: Extension and tightening of rules in many cities
In the fight against air pollution and congestion, many low emission zones are being extended and more and more cars are now prohibited from entering them.
Driving bans in France: increase up to 1800% expected!

Brussels Low Emission Zone: Penalties are illegal! Who gets their money back?
A complaint classifies the exemption for lorries in the Brussels low emission zone as discriminatory and could mean the end of the low emission zone. The city would then have to pay back all fines and day passes to the citizens.
Munich: 110 million euros to avoid diesel bans
