E bike chain wear

Wondering what sort of mileage people are getting on their ebike chains.

Put an BBSHD kit on a bike in June and just replaced the stretched chain today, 0.75% stretch according to the tool. Purposely went with an 8 speed set up so I can use the reported stronger (and cheaper) chains. Bike is running a Lekkie bling ring to get the best possible chain angle.

I didn't expect the chain to last as long as my non-powered bikes, but was a little surprised by having to replace the chain after less than 1500 miles at best.
