Any car can become a plug-in hybrid, if you have enough money. LG is in the process of opening a separate facility, an EV Annex, dedicated to such projects.  Interested parties should be willing to spend at least $20,000.  For general info on plug-in hybrids, refer to the wiki.

Kit specs and highlights:

LG has worked closely with Plug-In Supply in the development of their PHEV system.  The installation is very clean and takes two days.  Our expertise on this system is unmatched.
