I do not understand why it is not passing.

why is it passing the first boolean statement? Is this a syntax error or do I need to use "public Boolean !isBatteryEmpty" instead?

GoKart.java
class GoKart {
  public static final int MAX_BARS = 8;
  private String color;
  private int barCount;

  public GoKart(String color) {
    this.color = color;
  }

  public String getColor() {
    return color;
  }

  public boolean isBatteryEmpty(){
    return barCount == 0;


  }
  public void charge() {
    barCount = MAX_BARS;

    }  
    public boolean isFullyCharged(){
      return barCount == 8;
    }

  }
}

Your code is perfectly fine but instead of using 8 use the constant variable that you created as MAX_BARS.

public boolean isFullyCharged() {
      return barCount == MAX_BARS;
    }
