Where do we implement the while loop? Also are we modeling the GoKart charging or discharging like the PezDispenser?

I am confused by what the question is asking. I have created the if and then statement and I believe it is correct, however, I have no idea where to implement the while loop or how?

GoKart.java 
public class GoKart {
  public static final int MAX_ENERGY_BARS = 8;
  private String mColor;
  private int mBarsCount;

  public GoKart(String color) {
    mColor = color;
    mBarsCount = 0;
  }

  public String getColor() {
    return mColor;
  }

  public void charge() {
    mBarsCount = MAX_ENERGY_BARS;
  }

  public boolean isBatteryEmpty() {
    return mBarsCount == 0;
  }

   public boolean charged() {
    boolean wasCharged= false;
     if (!isBatteryEmpty()){

       mBarsCount--;
       wasCharged= true;
     }
      return wasCharged;

   }

  public boolean isFullyCharged() {
    return mBarsCount == MAX_ENERGY_BARS;
  }

}

it accepts:

  public void charge() {
    while(!isFullyCharged()){
      mBarsCount++;
    }

    //mBarsCount = MAX_ENERGY_BARS;
  }

this replaces the existing charge method.
