Some people I know will use a cover. These can catch the wind, so look for one that fits well.
Other wise, you can try to cover the battery terminals. Every bike is different, so you have to wing it here. I worry more about the handle bar controls and displays on my bikes, so I wrap them with plastic baggies and rubber bands.

I do the same thing for covering all the item on the handle bars.
I also get the biggest size of Poole Noodles and cut/fit them to the battery box areas, then use the large size elastic stretchy straps to hold the Pool Noodles in place when traveling about.
Works very well, so far.

Obviously, the best idea is to use a bike cover. The trick is to find one that fits and won't come apart from the wind at highway speeds.
Keep in mind that most of an e-bike is weather resistant. Sometimes, all you need to do is cover certain parts.
I use these silicone stretch covers on sensitive electrical components:
They can even be used to keep your saddle dry:
They also work well to cover the opening on bikes with rear rack batteries:
For down tube openings, as @Mike-V suggested, I cover with plastic wrap and use an ace bandage to hold it in place.
Protecting your bar ends is easy with these waterproof arm protector sleeves:
If you remove your saddle & seatpost when transporting, don't forget to cover the open end of the seat tube:
