New research conducted by Peugeot found that more than half of children surveyed in Britain want their parents to be more environmentally friendly, including switching to electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles.
More than two-thirds of children in the study said they have starting caring more for the environment in recent years, with 67.8% of all children believing electric and plug-in vehicles are good for the planet. More than half of the parents taking part (55.3%) said their children would like them to own an electric car going forward.


The research also revealed the scale of the influence children have on important household purchases, with 72.2% of children saying they are consulted or involved in the purchases their parents make, including buying a new car or choosing holiday destinations.
The news comes after Peugeot revealed the new 3008, which features revised styling, enhanced specification and a choice of plug-in hybrid powertrains. By 2023, Peugeot will offer an electrified variant across its entire model lineup.
