You’d probably never know it from all the pictures, but the Chevy Volt hasn’t actually been fully built before — so far all we’ve seen are “development mules” constructed from the shell of the company’s Cruze compact cars. That’s all gonna change on June 1st, when General Motors says it’s gonna start production on the first 100 percent genuine Volt. According to the unofficial blog GM-Volt, an average of ten cars will be made each week until a fleet of 80 have been complete. Of course, you’re still not gonna get to drive one until at least 2010, so don’t go looking for your favorite Gatsby cap just yet.
