>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." i'm scott mcfar land in washington. thanks for staying with us. since the start of the pandemic a lot of car buyers have been experiencing sticker shock. computer chip shortages and supply chain disruptions have driven the price of cars through the roof. used car prices are up 30% from march 2020. that's for new cars if you can find one. you'll likely have to pay hundreds, if not thousands above the sticker price. for some sought-after electric vehicles, the dealer markup can be $10,000. that's gotten the attention of ford and general motors who are warning their dealers against this practice. threatening to withhold the
3:41 am
delivery of popular vehicles if it continues. meanwhile, general motors is pushing ahead into a new electric future. ben tracy has the story. >> we want to lead in evs, full stop. so that's where we're aggressively moving. >> reporter: we met up with gm c.e.o. mary barra. gm's first assembly plant for zero emission vehicles. this is the huhher. the huhher is no longer a gas guzzler? >> no. >> reporter: a truck that costs $100,000 is not what most americans want or can afford. so gm is now spending $4 billion to overhaul its plant in michigan to start making an electric version of one of its most popular models, the chevy silverado pickup truck. starting price, about $40,000. you seem to be doubling down on the pickup truck as kind of your next big push. >> we lead in truck share in
3:42 am
this country. it is a franchise for us. you know, we're going to defend our position and we plan to grow it. >> reporter: the competition is fierce. ford starts delivering its electric f-150 pick up this spring, and tesla is hyping its futuristic cyber truck. what do you think will be your true first mass market car at a price point most americans can afford? >> the equinox ev cross-over is going to start at around $30,000. and we've also shared we're working on a vehicle that wil be even more affordable than that. >> reporter: barra says the transition to electric vehicles is now inevitable. it's also seen as essential to reducing carbon emissions from gas-powered vehicles that are helping to rapidly warm the planet. gm believes it can drive down the cost of evs and more quickly roll out new models because of its customizable battery system called ultiam. it is the platform all future
3:43 am
evs will run on. gm is building massive battery plants in ohio and tennessee, and just announced a new $2.6 billion battery facility in lansing, michigan. >> i think we're incredibly well positioned. we're not going to cede our position to anyone. >> reporter: barra is trying to position them for 2035. tesla has 30% of ev sales in the u.s. while gm is only about 6% of the market. tesla c.e.o. elon musk recently trolled gm on twitter saying, hypothetically, if they did make lots of electric cars, then they would be the leader. so what do you mean by that when you say you are the leader? >> when you look at how many vehicles we're going to be able to launch across many segments, that's why by mid decade we think we'll be in a leadership position. >> reporter: so you think you can catch tesla by 2025, 2026? >> that's where we're working
3:44 am
from a north america perspective. we'll keep going until we have global leadership as well. >> reporter: there have been setbacks. last summer gm was forced to recall all of its chevy bolt and bolt evs, due to concerns over battery fires. the recall coupled with the shortage of critical computer chips sent gm's ev sales plummeting to just 26 vehicles in the fourth quarter of last year. how much of a gut punch was that when that happened? >> it's always hard. but, you know, one of my mantras is you have to do the right thing when it's hard. it was disappointing, but we just did the right thing. >> reporter: what do you say to somebody now who says, yeah, i'm interested in buying an ev, but i'm not sure they're safe? >> i think people have to look at who's got the experience. we have a lot of learnings built into the electric vehicles general motors is producing. >> reporter: and barra says guiding gm into an all electric
3:45 am
future is one of the highlights of her career. >> it will be a very different company. you know, i've been at general motors my whole career, and i can't -- i'm so excited about where we're headed. >> reporter: ben tracy, detroit. the u.s. military is also committed to going green with many of its new vehicles. natalie brand has that story. >> reporter: the u.s. military calls climate change a threat to national security. >> this is a national emergency problem that needs to be addressed. >> reporter: the army is detailing its new strategy to adapt, calling for a 50% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. with an ultimate goal of zero emissions by 2050. as part of that, goals include creating an all-electric nontactical or noncombat fleet by 2035. and fully electric tactical vehicles by 2050. >> when it comes to tactical vehicles, we need to work with industry and with academia to develop the technologies we need. >> reporter: the army also aims to reduce emissions from its
3:46 am
bases. officials broke ground on a self-contained energy grid in california. and they are expandling renewable energy sources like this solar farm at fort stewart in georgia. how quickly the army can implement the strategy will depend on new technology and how to pay for it. >> i would be watching first of all to see what's in the fiscal '23 budget, and whether these commitments that are made in these strategies are backed up with funding. >> reporter: sharon burke, who worked on climate security at the pentagon under the obama administration, says the future of warfare with a shifting focus to cyber and artificial intelligence, will require a different approach. >> that's going to be fought with batteries and electricity, and that is something that the army must be ready for. so this is also about modernization for the future threats. it's not just about doing energy for energy sake. it's incorporating energy in a
3:47 am
way that makes the army better positioned. >> reporter: in addition to the army, other branches of the military are also working on their own plans to adapt and i have a secret. i'm in love again with this! my secret is the new secret dry spray. totally revamped. and it smells so good! no hold-your-breath cloud either! it's fresh people! and it's secret, so it works all day. thanks odor-fighting spray! spray fresh. stay fresh. -viniste! -claro! fam, this works! secret. depression can make you feel like...just...noooo. it comes with different symptoms... a whole grocery list of them. yeah...enough! and your doctor tells you about trintellix, a prescription medicine for adults with depression. and you feel this relief...from your overall symptoms. with—get this—no significant impact on weight
