while loop

It should be pretty straight forward but apparently it isn't. Some additional hints or explanation would be super welcome!

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

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

      public boolean charge() {
boolean wasCharged = false;
if (!isFullyCharged()) {
mBarsCount++;
wasCharged = true;
}
return wasCharged;
}
while (charger.!isFullyCharged()) {
System.out.println("Charge!");
}
if (charger.isFullyCharged()) {
System.out.println("Is fully charged!");
}
  }
}

The only you need to do is a while loop in the charge method using the (!) isFullyCharged method then increment the mBarsCount

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