What the 4 factor pages say

One chart per unit, since a kilogram and a kWh do not compare. Colour is the boundary, what the factor counts; every row also names it.

Linear scale, from 0.4
From 0.6 (Distribution and trade services of electricity, EXIOBASE) to 1.28 (Transmission services of electricity, EXIOBASE) kgCO₂e per EUR.

Per kWh · 2 factor pages

Linear scale, from 0
From 0.01 (Grid electricity - Network operator (transmission and distribution), NGA) to 0.182 (Italy electricity and heat emission factor - transmission and distribution losses, ISPRA) kgCO₂e per kWh. 2 boundaries appear here, so part of the spread is what each factor counts, not a disagreement between publishers.
