EVITP Exam Fast Facts

What the EVITP Exam Covers

The EVITP certification exam is designed for journeyman and master electricians entering the rapidly growing EV infrastructure market. The exam tests practical knowledge across installation, code compliance, and safety domains.

EV Charging Levels and Equipment

You must know the three charging levels cold. Level 1 uses a standard 120V NEMA 5-15 outlet and delivers roughly 3โ€“5 miles of range per hour โ€” primarily residential convenience charging. Level 2 operates at 240V AC via a dedicated EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) unit and provides 10โ€“30 miles per hour depending on amperage. DC fast charging (DCFC) bypasses the vehicle's onboard charger and delivers power directly to the battery at rates from 50 kW to 350 kW. Connector standards for DCFC include CHAdeMO (Japanese standard, declining), CCS/SAE J1772 Combo (North American and European standard), and the Tesla/NACS connector now being adopted industry-wide.

NEC Article 625 โ€” Electric Vehicle Charging Systems

Article 625 governs all EV charging installations in the United States. Key provisions include required cable management systems, indoor vs. outdoor EVSE ratings, ventilation requirements for enclosed parking, GFCI protection mandates (required for all Level 1 and Level 2 EVSE), disconnecting means requirements, and labeling standards. Exam questions frequently test the interplay between Article 625 and Articles 210, 220, and 230 for service and feeder sizing.

Load Calculations and Service Upgrades

Residential EV load calculations fall under NEC Article 220. A standard Level 2 EVSE draws 32A continuously on a 40A circuit (80% continuous load rule). When multiple EVSEs are installed, demand factors and load management systems can reduce the calculated load. Commercial installations must account for simultaneous charging demand, panel capacity, and utility transformer limits. Smart charging and demand response systems โ€” including OCPP-compliant networked chargers โ€” can defer peak loads and are an increasingly important exam topic.

Grounding, Bonding, and Safety

Proper grounding and bonding of EVSE enclosures, mounting hardware, and conduit systems is tested extensively. The equipment grounding conductor (EGC) must be sized per NEC Table 250.122. For outdoor pedestal installations, ground fault and arc fault protection requirements apply. High-voltage safety procedures โ€” including lockout/tagout for EVSE servicing and safe work practices around energized EV battery systems โ€” round out the safety domain.

What is the EVITP certification and who needs it?

The EVITP (Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Training Program) is a certification for licensed electricians who install, maintain, and inspect EV charging equipment. It is administered by a coalition of IBEW and NECA and is increasingly required or preferred by EV charging network operators, general contractors, and utility programs for qualified installation work.

What NEC articles are most important for the EVITP exam?

NEC Article 625 (Electric Vehicle Charging Systems) is the primary focus and covers EVSE installation requirements, GFCI protection, cable management, and disconnecting means. Exam questions also draw from Article 210 (branch circuits), Article 220 (load calculations), Article 230 (services), and Article 250 (grounding and bonding). Knowing how these articles interact is key to answering scenario-based questions correctly.

Is this EVITP practice test PDF aligned with the current 2026 exam?

Yes. Our practice questions are written against the current EVITP curriculum and the 2023 NEC (National Electrical Code), which is the edition most jurisdictions have adopted for 2025โ€“2026. Questions cover updated connector standards including the Tesla NACS adoption and the latest OCPP-based smart charging requirements.

How many questions are on the actual EVITP exam?

The EVITP written exam typically consists of 50โ€“100 multiple-choice questions covering electrical theory, NEC code, EV technology, installation procedures, and safety. The exact count and time limit can vary by delivery method and jurisdiction. Check with your local IBEW or NECA chapter for the most current exam format details before your test date.
