York
It would appear the Wrightbus Electric fleet are due during 2023 - as publication of the 2023 First Bus Handbook by British Bus Publishing has confirmed the fleet numbers as:
Wright Electroliner BEV 36501-36520
Wright GB Kite EV 63644-63667
Livery details are presently unknown - likely to be in the new 'York' Black/Red Olympia 2 livery as used on new Streetdecks 35935-8 (Compared to last update - York's Streetdecks are 35927-38 and not as previously mentioned).
Leeds
The new batch of 'Leeds City Electrics' are also now fleetnumber confirmed as Wright GB Kite 63569-63600 - these are reportedly destined for Bramley depot for a number of their mainly single decker operated services.
Additional to this
An additional 9 Wright Electroliner BEVs have been ordered for York's University services for delivery by March 2024 - at which point, York will become one of the first depots outside of London to become an 100% Electric operation (alongside Norwich, who are also due 55 Electroliners by the same month).
Leeds Bramley will also gain additional electrics at the same time - 25 Electroliners, likely to see off the last of the depot's B9TLs.

Why not?
It has a diesel engine in, it was put in by them and they might need an extra vehicle

Hearing stories that First have purchased York Pullman.
Disappointing to see another independent go, if it's true.

Seems it has, it's in Route One - https://www.route-one.net/news/york-pullman-bus-company-agrees-sale-to-firstgroup/
Wonder how many times a company has bought the same company over twice, it's not something that happens everyday. Probably a lesson why you don't sell a name to someone which has value.

North Yorkshire's plans for their BSIP allocation.
This seems like one of these offers that seems really good but when you start to look at a map there's not really many journeys in North Yorkshire where it'd actually be useful considering both Leeds and York aren't part of it.
