It probably won't be to code if you slap in those mini breakers, because they put in the AFCI or combo AF/GF. Your homeowners won't cover you if something happened.

Your real problem is I don't think you have enough overhead to slap another 60A in there. You might be close to limit if 200A service. You might want to check, but I'm the summer of you have 50A to car charger and two 30A A/C units running, and you have say electronics lighting, fridge. Then you turn on stove, it might exceed your service.

The better option might be to put in a sub panel of a 100A double, and move the A/C breakers to it and add car charger there in a sub panel with 8 slots.

I doubt they’ve ever even pulled much over 100A. If they have a smart meter they can get their max load values from the power company.
