Kecharitomene is used ONCE in the Bible. So a comparison of words in the ESV is not actually relevant.
Please pick any translation you like. What is relevant is that we're looking at the same word - charitoō - in Luke 1:28 and Ephesians 1:6. In Luke the parsing of the participle is perfect passive, and in Ephesians the parsing of the verb is aorist active indicative. Same word, something different re: time being stated. Again, if we're going to make a case for something based upon the perfect tense, we're going to have to find somewhere in the Text to show us the past event the perfect is based upon.
Here's the Latin Vulgate:
Luke 1:28 et ingressus angelus ad eam dixit have gratia plena Dominus tecum benedicta tu in mulieribus
And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
There is Greek wording that means "full of," but it is not in the Greek Text from anything I see. It's an insertion into the Latin. Most call this eisegesis.

A few verses later:
Luke 1:30 et ait angelus ei ne timeas Maria invenisti enim gratiam apud Deum
And the angel said to her: Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found grace with God.
English translations are very similar and this is what the Greek says. Most English says "favor" instead of "grace." Either one is appropriate.
KJV Luke 1:30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
The parsing for "found" is aorist active indicative.
