There's 1.50 in the pot, so your combined EVs should add up to 1.50.
Of course, in case you're using rake, the combined EVs will be slightly less than 1.50, since the remainder goes to rake. Like here where 1.35+0.12=1.47 goes to the players and 0.03 goes to rake.
Another example
Please also note that when SB raises to 100 the pot is 27. SB's EV is -7.07 and BB's EV is 32.12. 32.12-7.07=25.05. So apparently the remaining 1.95 goes to rake.
One more example; bit more complicated
When button raises to 18 however, you'll find that just adding the EV's does not yield the pot. This is because the scenerio where Button folds and sb wins the pot also needs to be included. So, here, SB's EV is calculated as follows: In 12% of the cases SB gets into a -7.07 spot. In the remaining 88% of the cases SB wins the 11 pot. So SB's total EV here is 12%*-7.07+88%*11=8.83. That makes the combined EV for Button and SB 1.93+8.83=10.76.
