I like "big power" AMPs to subpanel 60/80/100/125 amps
then multiple EVSE's that each are configured to 60 amp breaker (48 amp charge rate)
configured to "share" a total "AMP" load
100/80 amp EVSE is great if you have a vehicle that supports an 80 amp charge rate
but honestly I need to charge multiple EV/PHEV(s) more often than I need to charge one EV faster than 48 amps…
enphase/clipper creek support EVSE's sharing a common amp load
Tesla supports mulitple eVSE's sharing a common amp load
WallBox I believe also supports this…
you wont' find very many 19.2 kW EVSE's "in the wild" in north america - if you do find a 19.2 kW it's most liklye to be a NACS-Tesla Wall Charger Gen2 - so you'll need a Tesla Tap to access it with a J-1772 EV
there are few if any 19.2 kW NACS EVSE's you'll ecounter (but they are out there) - that being said there are even fewer native J-1772 80 amp EVSE's in the wild for public use
if you pursue a 19.2 kW EV - do so with eyes open that the only time you'll most likely benefit from this sort of charge rate is at EVSE's you're personally aware of or have installed at locations you frequent (home, work, 2nd home, family, friends)
the Ford Pro EVSE is a great choice
80 amp capabile EVSE's I'm aware of in North America are: (not a complete list)
Ford Pro
Enphase/ClipperCreek
Tesla Wall Charger Gen2 (ebay)
Porsche Wall Charger
there may be others - I'm just not aware of them
my $0.02 - YMMV
