I think it depends on the type of drive. If it is stop and go in traffic, you won't get much of a charge. If driving at freeway speeds with some coasting, it will charge. If that is your type of drive and you battery didn't charge, you either have a problem with the charging system or the battery. My car was delivered with a dealer installed charger. I plug it in overnight once or twice a month and so far no warning lights on my 16 month old car despite the bitterly cold temps here (-30C).
