British children are more eco-friendly than their US counterparts - with 47 per cent wanting an electric vehicle as their first car. <br /><br />A poll, of 1,000 kids aged 8-16, found this differs to youths in the US, who would prefer to drive an older vehicle they can modify. <br /><br />While 41 per cent of US children want a fuel-guzzling car and aren’t too bothered about ‘saving the planet’. <br /><br />In contrast, 17 per cent of UK children would rather get around by bike when they’re old enough to drive. <br /><br />And while 39 per cent of British kids think ‘everyone’ will drive an electric car in the future, only 28 per cent of Americans feel the same.
