You have done everything correctly. Just named the method with the wrong name. Also, you tried to create the main method call with a different name? Not sure what you were trying but the correct answer is:

 public class GoKart {
  public static final int MAX_ENERGY = 8;
  private String mColor;
  private int mBarsCount = 0;

  public GoKart(String color) {
    mColor = color;
  }

  public String getColor() {
    return mColor;
  }

  public void charge() {
    mBarsCount = MAX_ENERGY;
  }
}

Thanks let me try that again

Done.
