your bond protects the licensing board. it does nothing for the end user and a "bonded" electrician in this sense of the word simply means "licensed". similarly, GC's routinely are issued surety for each municipality they permit in, and again this protects the municipality.
of far greater importance is "licensed and insured". to the customer, "bonded" means nothing. to the issue at hand, obtuse1 is correct in his post above, you would have to intentionally try to trip the main breaker in that scenario. in the real world it would be almost impossible to do, and certainly would not cause any peril to life or property (or your bond
)

But good luck not having the permit office bust your balls on the load calculation when you pull the required permit for a level 2 charger

You ain't getting that out of that panel.
Going to have to either get rid of some of that stuff in your existing panel or go to a larger capacity panel.
Which means new wires from the meter to the new panel to handle the higher amp load of the new panel.
Me, I have many ways around that, but none you're going to get a licensed and insured electrician to do. And none I'll tell you about on here.

I had no idea this thread would have this kind of life.
This is an outfit that has been in business for decades here and is respected, and I know they won't put something janky in this house, they work in the kind of homes they work in because they do good work.
They may very well get there and tell me I need something totally different and if it'll keep my house/garage/cars from burning down, I'll spend the extra bucks, and not care about it eating into the gas savings of an EV since that's not the main reason I want one. That's one of the beautiful things about having a house on pier and beam is how easy it is to fix issues like this if the need arises.
This thread has been very interesting, I don't mess with electricity very much at all, and I was just trying to be able to know what they were talking about when they tell me what I need.
I appreciate all the input and if anyone is interested, I'll update with the solution when the time comes.

Not sure if this is a running joke, but I just copied and pasted this little blurb from the company website:
When we ring your doorbell, you can rest assured knowing a licensed, certified, insured and bonded electrician is at your door
