If you do it with only 1 set of wires, you will mess up charger later if the single gang plug is used at same time.
Run the amp rating wire you want for charger, and run a separate 12 ga wire on separate breaker for plug.
You may want to research the ev charger as they are beginning to offer larger amp systems for quicker charging.

Or I think I need to add a panel at the carport with individual breakers for charger and plug once I add a charger it seems?

That's going to be most flexible. Run a 100 amp sub panel which should clear all your needs and allow for some extra power should need arise.
Be sure to match wire and connections with correct materials.

You can have faster EV charging but do you really need to super charge your car at home quickly? A 50a will charge all EV cars overnight which is what you’re really looking for.
