Only 2 circuits, outlets and lights? Chargers and lights(LED) are very low current.

I'd skip the subpanel and pull 2 blacks, 2 whites, 2 grounds, all #12, and split the lights and outlets between these 2 circuits..... and I'd probably pull 3 of each so there is a spare.

1" sched80 pvc capacity is 20 wires, so you are not even close.

I usually lay out the wire next to the trench, slide pipe over it and glue as you go. Much easier than pulling, imho. Add a pull string for the future, if you need to pull more conductors later.
