Ford's only EV is just a pre-order page, so it's not yet evident to me that they know how to build an electric vehicle.

Ford sold a fully-electric Focus for about 8 years. They've sold multiple generations of plug-in hybrid vehicles, and codeveloped (and sold) a fully-electric delivery van about 10 years ago.

They know how to do it.

Not well enough to make a product they didn't end up discontinuing.

There's no reason a manufacturer that makes complicated PHEV can't make BEV.
