Has anyone found decent places to get e bike chains from?

Definitely ebike specific you want? I’ve put on a SRAM PCX1 and seems fine so far ?

Actually, now you mention it, I was told that all kmc chains are rated for e bikes anyway, but have no way to check.
I’m fairly hard on the gear, and shift under power all the time, and weigh in at 110kg.
So far no chain has failed on my Turbo Levo and I replace them between 0.5 and 0.75 wear at around the 0.6ish mark. I take care of them and use a wax based lube.
Original KCM 600km
SRAM pcx1 1100km
SRAM pc1130 600km
Shimano hg701 currently in use
Hope to try a SRAM xo1 next, which they claim last 4x longer. However it will be the first hollow pin chain used.
