Constraining the electrons apart would require a very serious insulator. The muscle would just arc between its two ends.
To make it work you have to distribute electrical potential along all the "motor". Just like biological muscles do with protein configurations. We just aren't technogically advanced enough to build such metamaterials ourselves.
