First off ditch that cheap ass crap Star Circle made rim from China - often labelled Vigour, etc...

Even if you hadn't had an accident, you eventually would have cracked the spokes holes...

Plus the spoke often provided with these wheels are cheapy-ass spokes with a "y" or a "heart-like" symbol on the heads - often in galvanized steel.

Get a 26 x 1.50 Chukker from Velocity - get new 2.3 or single-butted 2.3/2.0 spokes in stainless steel and have a competent wheel builder re-build your wheel for you.

The wheels on most e-bikes from China were designed to fail...period.
