Just mind that his is a mostly American-centric view. Here in Europe my dishwasher is hooked up to the cold water. Energy usage is negligible.

European dishwashers seem to be designed vastly differently to American ones.
Water efficiency goals specifically; I've seen consumption of 7 US gallons (26.5 litres) per cycle called "eco" on American dishwashers, where mine (Miele) claims 12 litres on the heaviest cycle.
The manual for mine calls out connecting to hot water as a way to increase efficiency if you have hot water with a >1 COP, mentioning solar or heat pump cylinders.
A professional I asked noted though that for protein-heavy residues (like egg), hot water could bake it on before the dishwasher starts cleaning it.

And a little detergent in the pre-wash helps a lot with that. (My machine, a Bosch, does not have a pre-wash compartment so I just spill a little when I fill it.)
