It's so bad that I've thought of putting an electric point of use unit under the sink.

Shouldn't you run the sink to get it hot before running the dishwasher anyway, though? That's what I do or else you just have cold water going into the dishwasher when you turn it on at which point you're using electricity in the dishwasher to heat up the water versus natural gas in the hot water heater. Wastes more water, though, but at least that is renewable and falls from the sky.
