Simply use an L1 charger to charge the hybrid overnight and you will only have a single ~10% conversion loss and save yourself some money. On a 10 amp L1 charger (most L1 chargers seem to be in the 10-12 amp range), that's 1.2 kW/h. After factoring in the ~10% AC-DC conversion loss the hybrid's battery is getting ~1 kW/h. That means it would take no more than 12 hours to fully recharge the hybrid's 12 kWh battery, and less time if the battery wasn't fully empty.
I actually use a L1 charger for my EV when at home and have been fine, something I did not expect when I first got it. I tested using the DPU out of curiosity and confirmed that I can indeed charge the EV from it using an L2 charger, but have to make sure that the L2 charger is set to not pull too much power. Also, the DPU's charge switch must be set to charge in fast (1.8 kW) mode, not the configurable (slow) mode. Fast mode ensures the DPU will -never- pull more than 15 amps from the AC input (1.8 kW at 120 V). Configurable mode (what I normally use) allows you to set the charging cap to a lower level, but a side effect of the DPU's design is that it that mode it will potentially try to pull over 15 amps from the input if you are pulling a large amount of power out. I never tripped the main breaker, but I did trip the DPU's internal safety breakers a few times as the total power output ramped up beyond 1.8 kW and it tried to pull the corresponding amount from the input.
The gist of all that is that yes, you can plug in a L2 charger into a Delta Pro Ultra to charge your hybrid but you really shouldn't unless you want to waste your money. If it were an EV rather than hybrid it would still be a waste of money, but I can imagine a couple scenarios where it might be worth the added cost.
