Heat mitigation is a much larger concern with an ICE making lots of power. An ICE will put approximately 30% of it's potential energy into forward momentum with much of the balance being lost to heat as well as other factors. Teslas in particular put more like 90% or more of their energy into forward momentum. This means that next to zero is lost to heat so even if you double a number that is nearly zero... you probably get the point.
