Expert Reply:
For your 2012 Ford Focus hatchback, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11158 which is a confirmed fit for your vehicle. I've attached a video of this installation for you.
Then for a bike rack compatible with a Class I hitch and two e-bikes, I recommend the Thule EasyFold XT 2 Bike Platform Rack # TH903202 based on the photo you sent with the fenders. This rack can hold two electric bikes up to 65 lbs each. It is able to tilt away to give you hatch access with bikes loaded and will fold up when not in use. It comes with an anti-rattle hitch lock and also has integrated cable locks to secure your bikes to the rack. I've attached a review video to assist.
