In this case it is likely that the local repair shop will have some ability to source/replace a lot of parts that are common across the F series, which should cover a lot of repair jobs. For complicated electrical/drivetrain issues they can push the job up the chain to either a dealership or a more specialised part of the Ford repair network and over time the capability to perform those repairs will start to filter out to the edges of the network. By the time Ford is pushing EVs hard it is quite likely that their existing network will be ready to provide the sort of repair and support services that Tesla is famous for failing at.
