Yeah - the heating costs are the significant part by far. And a
dishwasher uses electric heating, whereas hot water may be heated by
gas, solar, wood etc.
Dish washers are plumbed to the hot water. They get their water from
the same place your sink does, and less of it. Many dish washers do
have heaters to boost the temperature further, something you can't do
washing by hand.
Again, you're assuming the U.S.
Over here, dishwashers are usually cold fill. They use very little water,
so often they would fill mostly cold anyway, from water lying in the pipe.
