I unfortunately can't use one as I park in a apartment garage so no access to power outlets.
Probably a 30-1 hour drive a week (Non-stop) should be enough to bring the battery back to full charge. If you start and stop the car often, the battery would not get back to full charge (such as turning it off and on). Do a battery test quarterly so once the battery is determined "needs a charge", just swap the battery during the warranty period. Costco one is very lenient.
