      I don’t know how much it actually costs to run my washing machine so I cannot make a definitive statement.

        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.
