> having to hive their fleets in two with slower and faster buses is unlikely to go well

They already do this though. I don't know about Amsterdam, but in Limburg the buses are electric for in-city routes and gas for the longer routes between cities and countries.

I believe the Rotterdam buses (RET) that run till Delft/The Hague, effectively intercity, are all electric.

N splits may be fine, but N+1 may not be, especially when you consider how rare 30kph only routes are.
