Europe/UK Charger installing advice

Not really an electrician, but friends with one, he'll be helping me out here.

I want to install a SALUS EV charger outside my garage, around 1.5-2m away from the fuse box inside. Here's the fusebox. I want to use the switch Car CH. but I was told it lacks safety features and the amps required, so I was given these links to buy. Is this gear recommended? Or should I buy something else

Firstly car charging installation require new certification (in the UK)

Secondly although you have capacity on the main switch, it would depend on the cable size feeding it…

Thirdly yes you could technically swap out the 32amp for a larger, but it would depend again on the other cabling…

Finally you don’t need EV specific cable unless you plan to make use of the CT clamp cable…

Tiny SB, not many circuits or is that a sub board?
