Thanks for that reminder. The correct command is actually VO+F7 twice. I totally forgot about this as I’ve been using the shell script method forever.

Yes, Speak Battery Status is now a VoiceOver command, so you don’t need to use the shell script function.
It can be reached as already mentioned with the VO-F8 three times, or you can assign it to any of the commanders that are available.

Brian,
You can create an Apple script using the following and bind it to a keyboard shortcut using the keyboard commander in VoiceOver utilities. 
I don’t remember if this list is set up to accept attachments, but I’ve included a copy of the script just in case. 

set cmd to "/usr/bin/pmset -g batt | grep -Eo '[0-9]{2,3}%'"
set batteryLevel to (do shell script cmd)
set cmd to "/usr/bin/pmset -g batt | grep -Eo '(charged)|(charging)|(discharging)'"
set batteryStatus to (do shell script cmd)
if batteryStatus = "charged" then
set batteryStatus to "fully charged"
end if
set message to batteryLevel & ", " & batteryStatus
tell application "VoiceOver" to output message
