The below chart shows the "older" model S charging speed/time. Anyone know how this will change with the charging upgrades made to the refresh?

There's no indication that the onboard charger has changed, so it will charge at the same power rate.
As @DerbyDave points out that mile per hour figure is a SWAG/average that covers a wide variety of Model S configurations over the years ranging from very efficient to much less than very efficient, so literally, your mileage may vary.
If you do the rough math (ignoring crap like battery buffers, etc), a ~100kwh battery that goes 412 miles consumes goes ~4.12 miles per kWh. So charging at 11.5kw will add 47 miles of rated range in an hour. Subtract at least 10% for overhead and you're at the ~44 miles an hour DerbyDave reports.
