I’m

I was already considering installing a panel in the garage, but if I go with a 100A panel, am I limited to a total of 100A of breakers (2 x 50 for the charging outlets), or can I also have an additional 2 x 30A circuits for my 5000W heater and small MIG welder?



Interesting the code allows you to crush electrical cable but won't let you share an outlet that's already protected by a breaker - no different from overloading the kitchen outlets by plugging in too many appliances.

The only problem I see with what you’re proposing is the second charger. I think the inspector would question that, otherwise you would be fine in my opinion.You forgot the circuit for the 60 gallon 240V compressor.Your chargers are considered a continuous load ( anything that could potentially stay on for 3 or more hours) , they typically draw 40 amps each, a total of 80 amps so your at the maximum allowable continuous load (80%) of your 100 amp conductors and panel without your heater, welder, compressor which are non continuous, cycling loads and factored in at a reduced percentage.
