In his defence I would suggest that it's accepted good practice to Earth unused cores, however it's certainly not a requirement in BS7671 terms.

EVSEs generally shouldn't be supplied from a 32A protective device. A 40A is far more appropriate as you do not want a device operating at its full rated capacity for many hours at a time.

RCBOs aren't RCCBs. RCD is the umbrella term, but an RCCB does not have overcurrent protection so can be used to distinguish between RCCBs and RCBOs. That's why I tend to use the term RCCB to refer to those devices.

Many RCBOs aren't. An RCBO is an RCD as per the definitions.

Also correct, or four pole for a three-phase EVSE installation.

You're absolutely correct - it must be a dedicated RCD for each EVSE.

Oh yes I completely agree that it's misleading, but probably is more understandable than merely "IP Rated".

Agreed. Even the term "weatherproof" is probably better than "IP Rated", although most of us would understand the intended meaning.

It really would have been better not to have advised it under any circumstances.

Indeed, it's utterly outrageous advice.

Frankly the US should be charged with genocide also.

Both sides aren't to blame. The occupation and theft of Palestine is solely to blame.

No you wouldn't be able to.

Essential (in actual fact mandatory) for the EVSE circuit.

It's the only correct answer though.
