That makes no sense. The electric motors are an entirely different, separate system from the ICE. As such, using the e-drive will not heat up or spin the pistons in the ICE at all.

The ICE is only connected to a generator to charge the battery while driving, thus providing extra charge for more range and/or peak torque/speed.
