Depending on the service you need asked friends, check reviews for independent, non-chain mechanics.  
**But** you might do better taking it to the Ford dealership. Not much to do on an electric other than rotating the tires and cabin air filter change. The rest of the maintenance is more of a multi-point inspection.  
As an electric independent shops are unlikely to have much training/experience with the motor/battery/charging systems.
