what about the following scenario?

3.3 kw charger + 1.8 kw charger over Y cable to aux port and the 700w internal charger = 5.8kw (54A)

This should be below the 1C limit as the 7.2kwh battery has 57Ah on the FX/FXS/FXE and for the 7.2Kwh S models a 6Kw charge tank is ok per the manual.

That will work. Also keep in mind if you get CAN controlled chargers, you can have them output exactly what you want. For example you can have 2 3.3kw chargers charge at 25 amps each. IRRC there is a 50a fuse on the aux port, so you'll want to be a little lower than 50a.

And what about two 0-125V 0-30A power supply, similar to these ones, in parallel on an Y cable:

Should be used with care, not going higher than 116 V to prevent the battery.
And should be used in a waterproof box.
Other than that, lowering the voltage should permit to end the charge at whatever desired SOC.
And lowering the delivered amperage should permit to adjust the power, in case you don't need a super fast charge, or if you have only weak plugs at your disposal.
Would charge on a CC-CV basis.
And by this way, you replace a complex CANbus control by a simple manual adjustment

This looks like a really good and flexible solution mainly for home use and I admire doctorbass for his ingenuity:)

Using this on the go could be tricky so definitely a waterproof case would be necessary.

I read good experiences with EVComponents when ordering a preprogrammed TC charger here on the forum.
What about the seller Deligreencs EV Parts Store on Aliexpress?
They have the possibility to preprogram the charger as well (same data is requested from the customer as with EVComponents)and there is a benefit of an easier customs process as they have a warehouse in the EU.
But I would like to know if there might be a risk with the unit not being programed correctly?
