EV batteries charge much faster from 10% or 20% to 60%, maybe somewhat higher than that.

Going from 20% to 80% typically takes as long as going from 80% to 100% and so standard advice is never to charge to 100% unless you absolutely have to.

Every model has a charging curve, which I've never seen a manufacturer provide but some reviews do their own.

I drive an EV, I asked because the comment genuinely didn’t make sense to me.

You're right that the poster used V when they meant KW but the Level 3 DC Charging Curve graph shows what I think they're describing: their EV charged at over 200 KW until the battery reached about 46%, then it slowed significantly again at 62 or 63%. Maybe TMI, sorry if so.

I'll confirm I meant KW not V for the charging numbers

The Ioniq 6 (Hyundai EV platform generally), charge from 20-80% in about 20m, which is on their 800v DC architecture
