> you will probably see the size of the fleets increase

This is already happening with municipal bus and school bus fleets. The bus count is over-provisioned to allow for the longer electric 'refueling' times.

As fleet managers understand, when a vehicle is being refueled it is out of service.

In this case, I think NYC is an edge-case where they don't have a lot of room to store additional fleet resources.
