In would be interesting to adopt a system similar to Japan's "Kei-Car" system where there would be a much greater advantage for people to drive smaller and fuel efficient vehicles.

Given that the fuel efficient car owners are already realizing savings on fuel, would it not be preferable to divert the fees collected from parking etc. to an ecocharity of the choice of the car owner. We need huge sums of funds to support the infrastructure for the electrical vehicles. Second rewarding automobiles is a two edged sword and defeats the target of cutting congestion. Fewer cars is a lot more desirable goal than green cars.
