Doesn’t take into account idle time or traffic (which in the city centre and through Durham Road is horrific at the moment)
Google reckons taking Durham Road is about 10 miles (10.4, but I couldn't get it spot on through Gateshead). It seems to be slightly less distance than by either the A1 or by the A184 and A194(M).
In terms of idle time and traffic, no it doesn't, but we do know that the 160 mile board it has been doing (inclusive of all idle time and traffic) is seeing it use around 70% of it's range. You can then extrapolate it out assuming similar idle and traffic.
