Happy to accept electronic vehicle being lifted (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elevated

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'being lifted' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'happy to accept electronic vehicle' is the wordplay.
'happy' becomes 'elated' (associated in meaning).
'to accept' indicates putting letters inside.
'electronic vehicle' becomes 'ev' (this might be a standard abbreviation of which I'm unaware).
'elated' going around 'ev' is 'ELEVATED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for elevated that I've seen before include "Lifted, raised" , "Lofty" , "given lift" , "Of high moral value" , "Raised up as to peerage" .)
