There rest of the tactic is to be prepared for a yes.
Nothing worse than "oh, cool, so, uh...whatcha wanna do?"
That'll turn a yes into a no really fast.

My guess would be yes, somewhat, probably. but maybe not much. As he says in the last part of the video: If it gets hot, you have a problem.
Better ask an electrician.
The devices sold as "EV wall chargers" are not really chargers. They're simple power suppliy units, whether or not it has bells and whistles to time the charging and what not.
The actual battery charger is in the car. It will attempt to suck as much energy from the PSU as it can and it will itself balance the load and all that. Having a separate unit also trying to regulate the load seems like something that will inevitably create more heat than necessary somewhere in that chain.
Generally speaking you do not need to protect the car from unstable supply. It will protect itself.
I will still recommend getting a proper "EV charger" to ensure that it can utilize all the phases unlike a regular garage plug. Also to ensure that it is properly grounded, which can be an issue for some cars.
At least here in Europe, where we have 3 phases. It's much better to have all 3 phases wide open and let the car suck a little on each, instead of having it overloading a single phase through a granny plug.
I know the American 2 phase circuit is different, but I still believe it's better not to put any more heat inducing obstructions in the chain.
The point of that chapter is that you should use the talent that God has given you to improve your talent.
It's not that you should pay back your employer double his investment.
It's not fucking overkill. There's no such thing.
I'm really disappointed with the video. That dude usually knows his shit, but he's way off the mark here. It's just plain wrong.
Getting a smaller charger might save a few hundred, but it will also increase your chances of burning the house down. Good fucking advise, huh.
Fuck that. You'll always want to charge as fast as your main circuit breaker will allow.
Layers of bullshit. It's only made to distract us.
The problem with discarding plastic is not racism. The problem with discarding plastic is not food prices. The problem with discarding plastic is not poverty.
The only minor problem with discarding plastic is that it would briefly make a curve in the stock prices for companies involved in producing wrapping materials until they figure out how to make money off other better products.
Oh sure the technique of storing heat in stone is valid. Again, the Finnish have used it for long time in oven design. It's possible to get modern soap stone ovens for this purpose.
It could be interesting in a smaller scale or off grid purposes, but you'd still need solar panels as a source.
I doubt it's worth saving heat from a wood stove. It'd be better to burn less wood to begin with. Some of the modern pellet ovens are very efficient for that.
They use this system to convert excess renewable electricity to heat for storage to be used in the district heating system. There's probably a lot of loss in comparison to a regular battery, so the point is to utilize excess the electrify. It makes perfect sense in Finland because their electricity is a lot cleaner than their heating.
Most modern cars have hill assist, but it might still be a help to use the handbrake when starting on a hill, or at least know how to do it.
I've always hated the descriptions "girl group" and "boy group".
Imagine being a post-apocalyptic historian trying to make sense of what these people did or why they were famous enough to be pictured everywhere and the only description is that they were a group.
It's impossible to tell if they were a notorious mob group or famous for making gay group sex videos.
My best guess judging by the visible letters is that it either says "I like your mom" or "Bukakke Soccer Mom".
