Would electric cars count, since the lithium on batteries are highly reactive when exposed to air or when they are overcharged?

I don't think so. They can burn, as do cars using gasoline, because gasoline is also highly flammable. However, as outlined in the trope page, for exactly that reason, most cars have such potentially dangerous parts shielded very well (the Pinto being the exception from the rule). Do you know of a case where an electric car exploded without having been loaded with explosive material?

This is when every car is Made of Explodium, right?

I don't know if it's somehow related to this trope for an old underrated 90's game by Square-Enix, but all I can think of when I see this trope is Threads of Fate. XD

That badass swordsman Rod that you can get paid from in the game if you beat him multiple times, each with a new weapon has a magically jet-powered boat he calls by the ridiculously overly long name "Pulsar Inferno Typhoon Omega!".

What does Mint call it compared to Rue? A Pinto. XD

Hell, it's even funnier when he wonders if you even remember the damn name in a dialogue option and even when you do, she still calls it a pinto. XD

One attempt to make a flying car was done by combining a Pinto with Cessna Skymaster. Production was scheduled to begin in 1974, until a test flight containing the inventor crashed into the ground and exploded in flames.

Not even kidding.
