[Verse 1]
For being ice cold
You’re way too hot
Story’s getting old
Is that all you’ve got?

[Chorus]
Oh, no, no… ice heat
(Taking over the street)
Oh, what a tragic cost
(Thermal energy loss)
Whoa! Being so lazy
(Is driving me crazy)

[Bridge]
Can we endure
(Upping the temperature)

[Verse 2]
Firing on all cylinders
In a mad race to waste
You and your parishioners
All praying in haste

[Chorus]
Oh, no, no… ice heat
(Taking over the street)
Oh, what a tragic cost
(Thermal energy loss)
Whoa! Being so lazy
(Is driving me crazy)

[Bridge]
Can we endure
(Upping the temperature)
No, no! (That’s for sure)

[Chorus]
Oh, no, no… ice heat
(Taking over the street)
Oh, what a tragic cost
(Thermal energy loss)
Whoa! Being so lazy
(Is driving me crazy)

[Outro]
Say no! (Know more)
(Stopping the temperature)
No, no! We can’t endure
(That’s for sure)

A SCIENCE NOTE
The thermal energy loss difference between an internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle and an electric vehicle (EV) is dramatic.

🔥 ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) Vehicle:

  • Efficiency: ~20% to 30% of the energy in gasoline is converted into motion.

  • Thermal Energy Loss: About 70% to 80% of the energy is lost as heat — through the engine block, exhaust, radiator, and friction.

    • For every 100 units of gasoline energy:

      • 70–80 units are wasted as heat.

      • Only 20–30 units move the car.


Electric Vehicle (EV):

  • Efficiency: ~85% to 95% of battery energy is converted into motion.

  • Thermal Energy Loss: Only about 5% to 15% is lost as heat — primarily in the inverter, motor windings, and battery.

    • For every 100 units of electricity:

      • 85–95 units move the car.

      • Only 5–15 units are lost as heat.


🔁 Implications for Climate and Efficiency:

  • ICE cars waste up to 4 times more energy as heat than EVs.

  • This waste adds to urban heat, air pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions (especially when factoring in upstream refining and oil transport).

  • EVs, even when powered by fossil-fueled grids, remain more efficient overall, and they benefit further as grids get cleaner.
