How Long Can a Car Be Parked Before It Needs to Be Started?

[ORemington]

If a car is parked for about a week, it should be started once. If parked for about half a month, the car should be driven for three to five kilometers. This not only allows the battery to charge but also changes the stress points on the tires, which has no negative impact on the car. If the car is left unused for an extended period, it can cause damage to the battery. Below is additional information: Effects of long-term inactivity: When a car is left unused for a long time, the paint can easily develop issues. If parked outdoors without a car cover, prolonged exposure to wind, sun, dust, fallen leaves, and bird droppings that are not cleaned promptly can seep into and corrode the paint, leading to dullness and even aging and peeling.
