British children are more eco-friendly than their US counterparts - with 47 per cent wanting an electric vehicle as their first car.
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.
While 41 per cent of US children want a fuel-guzzling car and aren’t too bothered about ‘saving the planet’.
In contrast, 17 per cent of UK children would rather get around by bike when they’re old enough to drive.
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.

00:00What's going on?
00:06The Department of Futures are coming in.
00:07Hi, my name is Oli.
00:11Welcome to Nissan.
00:12You guys ready?
00:13How's my hair?
00:14We are the Department of Futures and we are here to make sure the future of electric is
00:26on track.
00:28Let's get going then.
00:29Yeah, we're here now.
00:30They're not going fast enough.
00:31It's really looking.
00:32Do you need it to all be red?
00:33Marcel.
00:34Hi.
00:35Good to see you.
00:36Good to see you.
00:37How are you?
00:38Very well.
00:39How's the family?
00:40We've just gone for a holiday.
00:41Great.
00:42Great.
00:43Great.
00:44We'll look to Marcel.
00:45What are the objectives for the next few years?
00:46Are we on track to meet them?
00:47Well, by 2030 we plan to launch 27 electric cars.
00:48We are on track and this objective is very important for the company.
00:54And the thing is…
00:56What's that?
00:57Lap breakdown.
00:59What's that?
01:00Powertrain efficiency.
01:02What's that?
01:04I love the ambition.
01:07Let's not forget what we're trying to do here.
01:17All we're trying to do...
01:19We want to...
01:20We want to...
01:22Win the championship.
01:23Yeah, win the championship, of course.
01:25Show me the celebration you'd do if we won P1 this season.
01:28Like, now?
01:30Yeah.
01:31Yeah!
01:36Well, well, well, look who it is.
01:38Wally, we heard you came third place in the rear.
01:41Why not first?
01:42And Sasha, you've got the fastest lap in Formula E history.
01:46Why haven't you won a race yet?
01:48It's not about being tough, it's about being smart.
01:51You only sell 60% of the energy you need to finish the race.
01:54Regeneration is your friend.
01:56And also, the attack mode is very important in the strategy...
01:58No, no, no, no, no.
01:59It's all about timings.
02:01Just don't overthink it.
02:03You need to remember to stay calm.
02:05Let us show you.
02:06And breathe in...
02:09And breathe out.
02:13That's a nice suit. Where did you get that from?
02:15I don't know. My mum got it for me.
02:18OK.
02:21The cool thing is that a lot of the things we learn in Formula E
02:25help us also to improve our electric vehicles in the future.
02:29Cool. So can I drive a Formula E car when I'm older?
02:32Er, no.
02:33Awesome. Yep. I'm into that.
02:36You call that a pass up? My brain can do better!
02:40It's great to see that we're on track for 2050
02:42and the Nissan Ambition for 2030.
02:45They were superb.
02:46The best team I've ever worked with in my whole life.
02:51Sasha, it's a racetrack, not a runway.
02:53Yeah, I'm sorry.
02:543, 2, 1...
02:55Formula E!
