Just to clarify in the rare event that someone in the future does a search before asking this question again, but Rule 3.3 actually states that a car needs a 2.5 lb. (or larger) fully-charged fire extinguisher which meets one of the following specifications:
Purple K;
Type 10B:C; or
Type A:B:C extinguisher.
A Purple K extinguisher is but one of the three accepted types.
IOW, you're fine with a ABC Halon fire putter-outter. Cheers.
