Some bike racks like the one from Thule, include provision for a ramp. Depending on the height off the ground of the hitch receiver the ramp may or may not be usable. Most racks that can support the weight of 2 heavy e-bikes require a 2" hitch receiver on the vehicle.
This is exactly my concern with most of "affordable" ebikes. I will no longer ride in the city, so need to transport 2 bikes to suitable biking locales. I'm not yet ready to spend the big $$$ for a lightweight road bike but maybe someday!
