For a similar project, I got this doofy hole saw set from Harbor Freight:

I was able to knock a hole large enough to shove a piece of 1-1/2" PVC conduit through a foundation wall without much trouble, using a regular (non-hammer) drill. It took about five minutes, no sweat. Although obviously I had to come at it from both sides. I later did the same to put a length of flexible conduit through to power my mini-split outdoor unit.
If I were you I'd use the smallest saw in that and then use one of these conduit junction dinguses on the outside to house the plugs and ensure they remain dry -- and enable you to access them if you ever need to fuck with it later.
