As you’ve most likely figured out by now, in order to charge to full in 2.3 hours, the 240-volt charge needs to be set at 32 amps with the 7.2 kW charger. If your home charging station is capable of this (e.g., having been installed on a 50 amp circuit), you would be able to take advantage of the faster charger time. If your Level 2 portable EVSE is only 16 amps, then nothing would change; it would still charge to full in about 4.5 hours.
