Here in the UK there may be congestion charges to enter certain zones, "Park and ride" schemes, limited and expensive parking space.

To install a tracker on every car along with all the infrastructure for handling and billing is calling a nuclear strike on a molehill. Again this is just some interests trying "to load the boat".

Yes, I can agree these on vehicle trackers are unnecessary, since license plate readers would do the job just as well.
