Did you try googling ESA inspection?

This answers your questions: https://esasafe.com/notifications-and-inspections/

You need to first notify them that work is happening (this is not the same as a building permit, which you maybe also need) by filing a "notification of work" and paying the fee. Then when the work is done you send in the form for the inspection or call them at the listed number.

If they're AF/GF breakers, that's "probably" for a reason. You'd have to check local codes and see if it's required for a given circuit (if you're subject to modern codes, they're required in lots of places). If it is required, you'd have to put GFCI outlets in, and you'd maybe have to switch your main breaker out for an AF one? (Not cheap!)

I'd look long and hard at the actual charging rate you need. 60A is big and could push the load calculation for your panel over it's limit, especially if you've got a big AC or anything like that. Have you done a load calculation (you better, if you're adding a 60A load)?

Most people charge their cars overnight, and even 20-30A (at 240V) is more than plenty for that, even doing large amounts of driving per day.

Read the lyrics...

>On the first day of Christmas my true love sent to me A partridge in a pear tree

>On the second day of Christmas my true love sent to me Two turtle doves, And a partridge in a pear tree.

You're clearly getting both things on the second day. And so on as the days continue.

There's no time travel you're just getting duplicate gifts every following day.

How do you interpret that and NOT have it be cumulative?

The rating of the panel doesn't matter, just the size of the breaker that feeds the wires. If you want cheaper wire, just stick a smaller breaker upstream. And since you have conduit if you ever decide you need more, it should easy to pull new wire through. (Aluminium wire is pretty cheap though, as long as everything is rated for al connections, it would be worth looking into).
