6. The cause for the research Gas prices are on the rise and pollution causes climate change Electric cars can solve this problem Electric cars need an infrastructure Are Latvians willing to pay a tax to build this infrastructure?

7. Goals We are conducting a research to know: If Latvians are willing to pay this tax Which kind of infrastructure do we need How much would this infrastructure cost Which kind of tax would be most suitable for this purpose

8. Research team We will gather a multidisciplinary team from various fields such as: Team Economics Civil engineering Mechanical engineering Business management ITLaw Textile engineering

9. Steps of the research Investigate the legal environment to know if it is possible according to current laws The comparison of infrastructures for electric cars Physical viability of Latvenergo to create this infrastructure Economic viability of this project Making a survey among Latvians to know if they are willing to pay a tax and how much they are willing to pay Research for the most suitable form to raise the money for the project

10. Methodology Quantitative research (survey) Qualitative research (analytic induction) Mixed methods (content analysis)
