Those who in good faith for this reason imagine an electric car or plug-in hybrid, but may be waiting in the capital for some time an unpleasant surprise.

Prague is now considering limiting free parking to permanent residents and entities based in the capital. Information stated the server iDnes.cz. The reason is said to be an increase in the number of electric cars and overcrowding in parking zones. The city had to think mainly of Praguers and local businessmen.
