For sure, good optics even though I argue that this basically means poorer people aren't allowed to drive in the city only people rich enough to buy the right via a (relatively) expensive BEV. Sure the Renault Zoey exist and similar but on the whole BEVs are significantly more expensive.

As for noise this might be true at the low speeds of the city center but keep in mind that on high ways BEVs make more noise than ICE vehicles due to the aforementioned increased mass, on average. High speeds it's tyre friction and air friction which is the noise driver and not engine sounds.

Good thing this is for a dozen city blocks at the center of an organically grown city then.

Walkable in about 15 minutes, and no highways.

and no highways.

Well, the E4 years through parts of the city like a sad scar in Essingeleden, so that's not quite true.

Unless you're talking about the zone where ICE cars will be banned, in which case - yes indeed. I believe one of the exits of Klaratunneln is located inside the zone, but that's not quite a highway, just highway-adjecent.
