The power factor (probably 0.7, same as the PDs') will make that input 1450w, actually requiring 2,071 VA from the power source (generator or pedestal)
2071/108 volts (for the 120v) = 19a.
Which is why a 90 amp (DC) charger that is not power factor corrected needs a 20a (AC)circuit breaker and #12 wire. The PD 9280 does too, and it has 80 DC amps, not 90.
BTW, the PowerMax 100 amper is power factor corrected and so it can run on a 15a circuit. So can the WFCO 98100.
