Please excuse me for writing in English. I'm an Englishman living near Stockholm but I'm still trying to learn Swedish.
I'm new to the forum and have just introduced myself in another section.
It does say that no questions here are stupid questions so let me start with a few.
I live with my Swedish wife to the South of Stockholm. We have a house (with a mortgage) and a garage. However, we also pay a monthly fee to a Housing Association which includes access to our garage. The garage is in a block (which is about 50 Metres from our house) of approx 10 and has power and lighting. Unfortunately, we can't charge from our house because there is no parking outside our property

My questions have probably been asked before but I've searched the forum and can't find an answer. Here they are:
Can I insist to the Housing Association that I install my own charge point (and pay for the installation)?
Can I just charge from the standard power socket outlet? Assuming the cabling is checked and found to be sufficient for charging?
Would it be reasonable to offer the Housing Association an increase to our monthly fee? Or is there an 'accepted' monthly charge or calculation they can use to determine the cost?
I'm sure others have experienced similar challenges with charging at home so any advice will be welcomed.
We haven't bought the car yet but we are thinking about buying the Model 3 SR. We don't use the car everyday and don't do many miles (km's) per year. Maybe 6000 to 8000 km's only. With an EV, that might increase to maybe 10,000 km's per year. We do have 11KW charge points approx 10 km from home and a number of 3.7KW charge points close by. If we can't charge from home, can we rely on these charge points to charge our Tesla? The 11KW chargers are free to use at the moment

We've visited our local Tesla store and whilst they've been very helpful with lots of other questions, they haven't been able to help with these questions.
If you want to reply in Swedish, please do. Google Translate is my friend
