Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 50,856 PointsHi Miguel,
right now you are checking if the laps that have been driven are greater than the constant of maximum battery bars the GoKart can have.
You want to check if the laps that have been passed into the drive function are greater than the barCount.
Kind Regards, Florian
