It sounds like you’re just putting the kilometers on the tires at different rates. Likely, if they’re identical tires, you’re getting close to the same distances out of them. The difference between them would be that the ebike is slightly heavier and it has more power to the wheel. So there is more scrubbing. But I don’t expect it would be much more, because you’re also probably running higher air pressure in the ebike tires.
There can also be an element where the power assist prevents the rider from noticing as early when the pressure is getting low which causes them to wear out faster. Being conscious about checking ebike tires routinely can probably extend their life considerably.
