This is true. But just going from fossil to electrical vehicles will improve the air quality enormously and lower the noise a lot. It is a big improvement for city life.
While that is all correct, I think it’s worth keeping in mind that a lot of the air pollution and noise is from tires.
…and heavier EV with more torque generate more micros plastics than most cars with combustion engines. In general, biking and public transport are best.
