Well that manual shows a Nema 14-50 plug, and someone said it doesn't really use 3 phases, so it should be fairly easy to use in the US.
My generator has a 14-50 outlet.
That's two 110v phases though, if the charger only operates on single phase, you're capped at the 110v limit of 3.5kw.
if you plug it to 110v outlet max will be 240v, but if you plug it 240v in US (split phase) I think this will work, inside is probably 20A charging module as in other external DC CCS chargers - they will not make it custom bcoz not a lot ppl will buy it - they make custom mobile and probably not even make profit on them - even if this is very low margin
In Europe the three phase plug will have 3 phases, neutral, and earth/ground. Phase to phase voltage is 400VAC, and each phase to neutral is ~230VAC. Since the stated draw is 32A max, that max 32*230=7.4kW
So in the USA, a nema 14-30 (commonly used for electric clothes dryers) is rated for 30A at 240V. So if you plug it into that, you should be able to get 7kW out of it.

It's a 14-50 not a 14-30

I actually found a affordable generator with a 1 phase 26A 6500W:

Site is in Dutch, i have very good experience with the 4200W version since the end of 2023. Underneath it's a rebranded Hyundai.

OK, same thing except rated for 50A. The main point is that the charger is single phase ~230VAC at 32A max.

Was in stock in the EU at least for a while. But you're right, its gone now.
Its been dropped for the USA/Canada site as apparently it's not compatible.
Still listed here in Spain. Although out of stock until July... so probably Nov/Dec.
Slightly worryingly though that the stand charger is NLA, the portable is listed for May stocking. So, if your charger were to die, you're SOL until at least May (so probably nearer August).

Probably they do have stock for warranty.
Maybe a good sign that they finally gave up on the stand. Everyone who has a Stark hates the thing. It's only use is in the garage because it balances the bike so well. But just a plate with that rubber flap would probably do it better anyways.

Stand charger is available (pos 1), but not the stand unit (pos 4)
7kW charger says not compatible with USA/Canada. Part number ends with rest of world "RW", so might be available elsewhere
I still think using one 32A phase instead of 2x 16A phase was a bad idea due to lack of scalability and scarcity of 32A phases in private or light commercial units
