I put 1154 verifiable miles on my bike last year (an average year and consider that this year I am fully retired). My bike is 3 years old and cost about $300. Would you like to compare cost per mile of your e-bike vs. my “rack in the garage” bike?
I think you are missing the point. E-bikes get people who otherwise wouldn't out on bikes.
We gave away our last set of standard bikes when we started cruising on our boat...everything is uphill from the water and after a couple months of them taking up limited space, we gave them to a marina for people to borrow. Run the per mile cost comparison on that...
