For the 2" receiver on your 2017 Toyota RAV4 I recommend using the Yakima HoldUp 2 Bike Rack for 2" Hitches - Platform Style - Tilting # Y02443, which has a capacity of 60-lbs per bike and is designed specifically for e-bikes. The HoldUp is a platform style rack so it will be easy to load up your bikes and the rack tilts away from your vehicle to allow access to the rear cargo area, so it's a great rack for a day on the trails or to use to bring the bikes along on vacation. The HoldUp also comes with locks to secure the rack to your hitch and to secure the bikes to the rack, so your investments are always secured.

I've linked a review video of the HoldUp on a similar RAV4 for you to have a look at, as well.
