Buy an EV and watch the cost of washing your clothes soar

Unlikely though - most washing machines wash at 30c or far less now and are unlikely to ignite. My tumble dryer is a heat pump model so technically should be no different from running a fridge. This might have been the case 30 or 40 years ago but it hardly applies now. I do almost all my washing and drying off peak and it saves about 1/3 of the cost.

Don't know what a heat pump dryer is . Unlikely I'll have a car crash this evening but I'm putting my seat belt on as usual.

But you're still going to drive.

I don't think it was the temperature, more electrical faults or motors overheating. If they're such a risk, I'd imagine timers wouldn't be allowed on them.

All depends on what works best for you, we have an ev and a hp, I use a d/n rate 12c at night and double during the day, all car charging is at 12c and I push a lot of hp kws to night as well.

Regardless 34c for a day unit doesn't sound appealing!
