The cause for the research Gas prices are on the rise and pollution causes climate change Electriccarscansolvethisproblem Electriccarsneedaninfrastructure Are Latvianswilling to pay a tax to buildthisinfrastructure?
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
Researchteam • We will gather a multidisciplinary team from various fields such as:
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
Methodology • Quantitative research (survey) • Qualitative research (analytic induction) • Mixed methods (content analysis)
