You do have to put the entire bike on (and take it off) at the same time with the Lets Go Aero V-Lectric FAT PRO Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount # LGA77FR. Understandably, that can be an issue if the bike is really heavy, but there is an option for an e-bike rack with a ramp to make that easier:

- Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # Y36FR

- Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # TH903202

Both have ramps which make it much simpler to load and unload your electric bikes so you don't have to lift them, just roll them up the ramp and you're set.

They also have frame clamps so they are compatible even with step-thru frames and bikes with fenders. The OnRamp has a 66 lb per-bike capacity while the EasyFold has a 65 lb per-bike capacity.
