On the energy tab: It says that driving a petrol car 10 miles uses 10,000 Watt-hours, eg 10 kWh.
On the costs tab, for the United States: It says that this has a cost of $0.97.
97 cents ÷ 10kWh = 9.7 cents per kWh
(I didn't look further than that. Perhaps I should have.)

edit: I now see a note at the very bottom stating that it is using an assumed "$0.17 for electricity".
$0.17 per kWh is plenty close enough for rough figurin', so I'd like to take this opportunity to retract my previous complaint.
- philipkglass 8mo agoYes, for the petrol car it's showing primary energy from petrol (gasoline). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasoline_gallon_equivalent#Gasoline_gallon_equivalent_tables https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasoline_gallon_equivalent#Gas... Assuming 33.41 kWh/gallon it takes about 0.3 gallons to get 10 kWh, which costs $0.97 at a pump price of $3.23 per gallon.
