Apparatus with light fixture

A vehicle, comprising:

• an apparatus, including:
• a light fixture to dispose within a central portion of the vehicle, the central portion (i) positioned between a first light source of the vehicle and a second light source of the vehicle and (ii) at least partially separate from a lateral portion of the vehicle that includes the first light source and the second light source, the light fixture including a first segment, disposed within the central portion, having a third light source and a second segment, disposed within the central portion, having a fourth light source;
• the first segment configured to, responsive to one or more first signals, produce light with a first pattern via the third light source;
• the second segment configured to, responsive to one or more second signals, produce light with a second pattern via the fourth light source;
• the first pattern and the second pattern configured to indicate a vehicle status of the vehicle that includes a state of charge of one or more batteries of the vehicle and a charging status of the one or more batteries;
• the light having the first pattern which (i) originates, at a first point in time, at a first portion of the first segment and (ii) terminates, at a second point in time, at a second portion of the first segment to indicate the charging status of the one or more batteries;
• and
• the light having the second pattern to illuminate, from the first point in time to the second point in time, across the second segment to indicate the state of charge of the one or more batteries.

A method, comprising:

• disposing a light fixture of an apparatus within a central portion of a vehicle, the central portion of the vehicle (i) positioned between a first headlight of the vehicle and a second headlight of the vehicle, the light fixture including a first segment, disposed within the central portion, having a first light source and a second segment, disposed within the central portion, having a second light source;
• receiving, by the first segment, one or more first signals to cause the first segment to produce light with a first pattern via the first light source;
• receiving, by the second segment, one or more second signals to cause the second segment to produce light with a second pattern via the second light source;
• and
• the first segment having the light with the first pattern in combination with the second segment having the light with the second pattern configured to indicate (i) state of charge of one or more batteries of the vehicle and (ii) a charging status of the one or more batteries by having an illumination of light appear to originate at the first segment and terminate at the second segment.
