    I'm a third year geography student studying at the university of Exeter and I'm currently in the process of working through my final year dissertation project. I decided to focus my studies on an analysis of both hybrid and electric cars and their importance in directing us towards a greener and more sustainable future. I aim to elude attitudes, behaviours and symbolism in connection with both owners of hybrids/electrics and also to sample a wider range of the general public

    I have so far collected a total of 9 interviews and need just two more from hybrid (Prius) owners to balance my research between hybrid and electric

    For anyone that might have an interest in partaking in a short phone interview to describe your vehicle purchase please either PM me on here or better still, drop me an email at [email protected]

    Thanks!!

    'Elude'? Do you mean 'elucidate'? :)

    In fact neither of those words are correct, what I meant was to explore and uncover

    but other than the fact I now know how not to use the word 'elude', how was this a helpful response!?
