The charger is probably 65 amps @ at 36 V DC. So its 220v AC current rating will be much lower than that.

Aside from that I can't help you at the moment, 'cause I don't know much about household AC. But if you don't get an answer by tomorrow, let me know and I'll ask Ivan. He's an industrial electrician.
