I'm not sure I understand the your post. Do you mean Ford is virtue signaling by manufacturing EVs?
Yes, there is not enough electrical infrastructure to charge all the projected unit sales of EV's. Every manufacturer knows it, so what are they building for? Virtue signaling. my opinion.

The market for EV's is saturated, many new EV's sitting on storage lots. Ford's projected market share is actually lower than anticipated. They jumped in the game against lower cost producers, and will have a harder time seeing profits without higher unit sales.
They need higher volume unit sales to make it profitable.

Good quote froms @Snobdds

A bit of an exaggeration on spread, but really bad understanding of volume.

Volume creates economies of scale. Where you can lower unit costs and increase profit margin through operation efficiencies. The text book goal of any manufacturer.

Just a side note; Tesla is building a new Lithium production facility in Texas--On the Gulf Coast. Close to the water. I guess in case it goes up in flames. :LOL:

Profits made by all the Big 3 are only coming from trucks. Buyers smell the blood on the wall that bidenomics is insisting on the phase-out of gasoline & diesel powered vehicles in favor of electrics, so buy now as long as the supply lasts, no matter what the cost. Plus, the automakers have just started to realize that electric vehicles which deliver goods & food won't be able to provide the ranges, amounts & costs of these items and the Public has already figured it out. State & Federal governments have already started the strangulation of gas vehicles by raising gas taxes, AND they know now that excise tax revenue from gas & diesel is falling rapidly, so road & bridge repairs are being cut back. Next will be vehicle taxes based on mileage, not fuel.

Our electric grid is being strangled by electric vehicle charging which will take dozens of years to recover, if ever at all.

GM (insider info) as already written the plans (Strategy Board) to leave the U.S. rather than go thru bankruptcy again. So, it's on to China & India which care more for their citizens employment & happiness than our own government. Mr. Soros's Global Open Boarders funding is working just like it was planned many years ago, (now under the leadership of his son). The morons who assisted setting this in motion will create their own 'Heavens' elsewhere.

Like apples ? How do you like them apples ?
