    So the only vehicles zipping around the pedestrians will be the silent ones? Oh, great!

    /s

    Seriously, tho, why not just ban all vehicles? Invest in public transit and bike sharing programs.

    Given how limited the selection of electric vans and pickups is, I think this will backfire somewhat in terms of getting trades and technicians into the city centre.

      It’s just a few blocks in the city centre and it will make no difference really. Shitty clickbait, I hate the modern internet.

    Great idea in an ideal world, in reality it won’t work. Not everyone can afford electric vehicles, charging points are still scarse, charge times are longer than refuelling oil.

    We need to work those problems out before they genuinely become a viable option.
