The electrostatic potential does not come from the nuclear contribution only, which is what you are assuming. There is also a contribution of the electron density. I would recommend you read the literature or a text book about what the electrostatic potential is.

If you would looked before the code section you show, you would see code that calculates the potential_form_shell_pair, where it calculates the electronic contribution to the ESP.

The units are in atomic units.
