Also, its very important to run your sink to full hot temp prior to starting the washer. (in 99% of dishwashers, they pull from the hotwater supply to the kitchen sink. Dishwashers will do a ~15 minute pre-spray (without soap) initial rinse. If you dont pre-warm the sink line, then the dishwasher will start with a cold pre-wash, thus will not put dishes to temp as quickly in the cycle.

That is probably regional. Here cold they are most commonly connected to the cold water line.
Yup, pretty sure all UK/European dishwashers pull from the cold tap.
Modern energy efficient dishwashers only reach 50 °C. And they also take three or four hours, which makes this idea even less appetizing.

Y'all with your fancy 220v electricity can get it hot a lot faster. In America where your dishwasher can only pull 1,800 w you have to hook it up to hot water.
I believe most modern dishwashers simply sense the incoming water temp though and basically just pump the water through until they get to hot water.
