Did you unscrew the other side? Try some penetrating oil, try to twist it out of the notch with a wrench and give it a few taps with a hammer for good measure.

WD-40 or anything else to remove the stickiness. Looks like stuck dirt or grime.
Trying using a hammer without destroying the threads.

You need to rotate that axle some to get it unstuck. Take a wrench that fits on the flats, and give it a little twist to unstick it.

The “grey nut” on the inside of the rear fork has likely worked itself into the frame’s finish. If this is a standard axle, you should be able to fit an 8mm spanner onto the axle with a bit of wiggle room. Try turning the axle slightly back and forth to loosen the grey lock ring. Then, try lifting the axle evenly on both sides of the wheel and pulling it straight out of the dropouts.
**Do NOT use a hammer.** You have disc brakes, and hammering one side while the disc is still engaged in the caliper can deform the rotor. Applying force unevenly—especially with the disc still locked in the caliper—can easily bend it. Avoid using any impact; instead, work the axle out gently and evenly.

Thy with a spanner and twist the axle, looks a bit out of position. As well some wd40 spray or something rust penetrant.

The creators of the axles had one goal. To torture the rider. Imagine getting a flat in a long ebike ride…
Just hit it with a hammer. Attach first an expansion to the axle and knock it out.

These hub dive motors put a lot of twist into the axle, which then bites into the dropouts. As already said a 10mm open spanner can rotate the axle counterclockwise to free it, usually only a few degrees. This should free it up.

First thing to do is using a 8mm or 10mm spanner an twist the axle.
Hammer is your ultimate solution but you should not need it.
