1) it's likely not worth it to upgrade to 200A service. You can manage this with a load management device (already stated)
2) Depending on how much daily driving you do, you may not need a level 2 charger in your garage. I've got a pretty short commute, so I get by just fine with a level 1 charger. With this serious cold I've gone to a DC fast charger to top up, as the charging slowed down quite a bit (its an unheated garage), but otherwise it's working just fine. Depending on how far you drive on a normal day, I'd maybe recomend seeing how you get by just plugging into the wall before you commit to a level 2 charger (this is of course assuming your car comes with a level 1 charger, some manufacturers aren't including them anymore.
