I’ve got a Rav4. Costs about $40 to fill up. Just got a Subaru Solterra (same vehicle as the Toyota bz4x). Costs about $7 to charge, given my electric rates. Similar range (Solterra is a bit shorter). And that’s neglecting my solar.
Like EV charging, washers and dryers run on 240V. My approximate energy use for a laundry load (washing + drying): 3 kWh. My own EV driving uses about 5 kWh per day. That’s how I got the number. Same order of magnitude is my point. At least in my case. Changing the laundry size and driving habits could actually make those numbers (3 and 5 kWh) close to equal.
For the cost of running a washing machine.
Hmm. There’s many ways that could be a lie. Could I get a source?
A source that a car and a washing machine both use 240V? Sure you could.
Voltage != power draw
Pretty sure that beats the $40 to fill my tank by quite a lot.

The calculation is too difficult?
I don’t know how much it actually costs to run my washing machine so I cannot make a definitive statement.

I wasn’t trying to argue with you.
Me neither, just explaining what I said for everyone to understand, hoping it helps someone.
