A couple days ago @Ford Motor Company posted here that if you use their navigation to navigate to A DC fast charger it will precondition the battery to accept a fast charge (like teslas) . They noted that the (doesn’t exist unless you are a mach-e) 3.6.2 update enabled this feature . Even though I have no need to use it right now since I’m in my hometown , I decided to go test out this feature . I’m now almost certain it doesn’t exist as you can check my extremely slow charging speeds in the pics below .

Anyways, while doing that , I’ve found what I believe to be a display bug in my center console . See circled photo below . This is reproducible as I’ve done multiple charge sessions and it keeps popping up .

Is this a bug or a feature ?

I don't know what slow charging speed you are seeing, not in the pictures that I see. But to verify whether the feature works or not, you'd need to monitor sensor temps with a OBDII reader and an app like CarScanner, and at 20 miles away (assuming you're using the navigation) watch the inlet temperature go up. And, turn off the cabin heat otherwise it's not as effective.

I believe the bug you found is because you aren't "at" the location via Navigation. As you're pulling in, if the nav doesn't say you've arrived and let you close out that destination, clear it yourself and you won't see that message.

Thanks very much . Your explanation makes perfect sense . That makes perfect sense about the bug .

I ordered a reader today . I also forgot to post the photos showing charge speed , so I circle back to them once I have the reader in my hands .
