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.
Yes, for the petrol car it's showing primary energy from petrol (gasoline).

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.
