The Saris Freedom 2 Bike Platform Rack part # SA4412B would be a perfect option for a Specialized Turbo Vado 4.0 E-Bike. The tire size, fenders, weight, rear rack, and frame construction should not be a problem. I however recommend using the frame clamps to secure the bike by the horizontal top tube.
