I have a fairly new 100 amp panel in my garage that is fed from the house panel with a wire run of about 40 feet. I want to add an EV charger with a maximum output of 240v - 48amp, which I believe would require a 60 amp breaker. For whatever reason, the panel is fed by AWG 6 aluminum wire, and I am wondering if that is the correct wire.

The panel box is reading in inch pounds. If you have a torque wrench, likely a dial one. You dial it to the correct torque. In this example lets use the top one of 250. You would dial your wrench to 250 then torque it untill it "breaks" where the wrench gives way at that torque setting. That is how that works.
