I have read a 40 amp IOTA will overload a Honda 1000. This is why I don't recommend 40 amp charging even if some chargers will work. I believe PD voltage or amps sag a bit near full output. Very few list PF correction so it is a bit of a gamble at about 40+ amps.

Little math exercise:
ASSume 85% efficiency for Iota and PD, and Iota at its 14.8 while PD at 14.4, each at 40 amps output. PD PF 0.7, ASSume same for Iota.
14.8 x 40 = 592w out, so at 85% = 696w in, so at 0.7 = 995VA
14.4 x 40 = 576w out, so at 85% = 678w in, so at 0.7 = 968VA
