Here is a sample for you. The Car class contains the basics as you requested and the main() function contains a menu of actions that user may choose. You can extend the car class with more functionality using the example. Good luck.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class Car
{

//private variables that store the car state
private:
int batteryLevel;
float gasAmount;
int gearNumber;
int carMotion;
int carDirection;
int maxGas;
bool carStarted;

//public methods to access car state
public:

Car(int maxGas)
{
// the max amount of gallons this car can have
this->maxGas = maxGas;
this->batteryLevel = 0;
this->carStarted = false;
}

int GetBatteryLevel()
{
return this->batteryLevel;
}

void ChargeBatteryLevel(int level)
{
if (level<0 || level>100)
{
cout << "Invalid option" << endl;
return;
}
this->batteryLevel = level;
}

float GetGasLevel()
{
return ((float)this->gasAmount/(float)maxGas) * 100;
}

void Gear(int gearNumber)
{
//motion: 0 - stop, 1 - forward, -1 ...
