Electric vehicle markets: GM overtakes Ford for 2nd place, Tesla is still far out in front

General Motors overtook Ford this week in a race for second place in the electric vehicle market.

Host Robin Young speaks to Ali Velshi, MSNBC anchor and economics correspondent about why this news is such a big deal and what it means for consumers.
