I recommend the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # TH903202 it is noted for its ease of loading/unloading and has an aluminum ramp to assist with the heavier than typical e-bikes. The load ramp folds away to store on the carrier itself. This model also folds up to a compact size for ease of storage and with integrated wheels and handle it's easy to transport; just roll instead of carry the rack to and from your vehicle. This will fit a 1-1/4" or 2" hitch and rated for 65 lbs per bike. Maximum tire width is 3" or 4-11/16" with With fat bike strap # TH985101.

Another great option, at slightly less cost, is the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 # HLY74FR for e-bikes. This too will fit either a 1-1/4" or 2" Hitch. This durable, heavy-duty rack is capable of supporting two 80-lb bikes. You can still access cargo area in an SUV with this rack, there are two quick-release spring pins that allow the rack to tilt down. Both are great options but overall I recommend the Thule EasyFold XT # TH903202 due to its added features and compact design for storage.
