To be completely honest, you are going to have a hard time finding a bike rack that can support the weight of 4 e-bikes. That is because as you get further away from the car, the tension the weight adds is higher. This causes the outside spots of the racks be rated for less weight.
Right now with your 2 e-bike and 2 mt bike combo, the Saris SuperClamp EX Bike Rack for 4 Bikes # SA4026F is going to be your best 4-bike rack. That is because it has the best weight capacities to handle 2 e-bikes and 2 additional bikes.
The two inside bikes (closest to the car) need to be the 2 e-bikes, that is because the two inside bike spots can support up to 60 lbs. per bike. While the two outside spots need to be the mt bikes because they can only support up to 35 lbs. per bike.
