Ebikes, bicycles, scooters, skateboards, longboards, eboards, motorcycles, skates, unicycles: Whatever floats your goat, this is all things micromobility!
"Transportation using lightweight vehicles such as bicycles or scooters, especially electric ones that may be borrowed as part of a self-service rental program in which people rent vehicles for short-term use within a town or city.
micromobility is seen as a potential solution to moving people more efficiently around cities"

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

While that might be true for some very gnarly air speeds approaching 10-20 knots, riding out-and-back would tend to cancel out most -- but not all -- of the windage effects. And such winds would almost certainly be noticed as a caveat to the ride data.
Certainly, I wouldn't recommend drawing conclusions from a few or even a single data point. It's an ebike, so going for multiple rides shouldn't be laborious and in-fact should be quite fun.
I mostly just use my bike for commutes and charge in the middle. So, the one-way matters. But sometimes, I can drain like 80% of the battery going one-way and other times its like 20%. Of course this will depend on how much assist you use. With a good tailwind, I'm pedaling hard enough the assist might do very little outside of accelerating after stopping. With a bad headwind, the assist might be at/near 750W nearly constantly (and still sometimes dipping down below 20mph) and my contribution is pretty negligible. I do live in a relatively flat area nearish to the coast... so winds speeds might be a bit more variable here.
