Spokes for ebikes are pretty hard to get though, i suggest you bring it to a bike shop

New rim but since you have it off you can put it on the ground and put a foot on each side and jump on it to straighten it out some. It won’t be perfect but should be able to ride it albeit slow. Would feel jiggly and may just taco again on a turn.
I would still replace the rim asap though.

Aluminium is not good to bend. If you try to straighten the rim it will most likely break.

I am pretty decent with straightening a wheel, but I wouldn’t even start on this one. I’d replace the wheel, not just the rim and/or spokes. The hub probably also remembered the car overriding it. Plus rebuilding your first (?) wheel isn’t easy.

Would be better to just buy a new rim
No. It’s dead.
Time for New spokes and a new rim.

Yes it can be fixed. Your hub needs to be relaced with a new rim and spokes.
I say no.. You can salvage the hub maybe, but the rim is gone. I’d buy new spokes as well.
