The only way you'll be able to carry an e-bike with your 2014 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen is with the hitch mounted bike rack like Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202 as the trunk racks do not have the capacity for the heavier e-bikes. If they did they'd probably damage the vehicle anyway.
To install the EasyFold you do need a hitch installed like the Curt # C11474. Nearly all e-bike racks can't fit Class I hitches but this one does and is the best option. I attached a review video for more info as well.
