It’s an equivalence thing so you can compare the efficiency of ICE, BEV and PHEV vehicles.

They just compare energy consumption and convert it to if that energy was from gasoline.

Okay, so it’s essentially how much the battery is used over that distance? Like how many miles would be used per gallon.

In most of the world, fuel consumption is litres per kilometre, which maps to battery consumption in a more logical way. The MPG rating is often just the l/km rating converted.
