Yes, as Kyle Connor points out in his videos, the 160kW initial boost is unique to Ford. It happens in the start of the charge independent of SOC. However, the SOC may influence how long it stays there -- really not sure about details of that relationship.Yep. In other words, so flat that it's not even worth worrying about (up to 80%). Which I like because it simplifies things. We can prioritize peace of mind that way rather than being a slave to perfection.
Also, that initial 90 second 160 kW boost happens starting (somewhat) later in the curve too.
Before you think about unplugging and plugging back in to get that boost over again, it's about a 50% increase over ~90 seconds. Cycling the charger off and handshake for a new connection can take more than a minute. It's not worth it. However, it's good to know that if your charge is interrupted you get that boost again.
