If the car isn’t driven for long time, after how many days is the car parked need to be driven?

Hi there,
If a car is not driven for a while, generally the battery would go flat after a few weeks.
If possible a run or a drive for 15-30 minutes once a week should keep the battery charged, or use a maintenance charger to keep the battery 100% till the vehicle will be used again. If the vehicle is not going to be driven long term, you might want to look at putting the license on hold too: https://transact.nzta.govt.nz/transactions/LicensingExemption/entry
