QUESTION 1
What is the minimum passing score required to successfully complete the EVITP
certification exam?
A) 60%
B) 70%
C) 75%
D) 80%
CORRECT ANSWER: B) 70%
EXPERT RATIONALE: The EVITP certification exam requires a minimum passing
score of 70% to receive certification. This standard is set by the EVITP program to
ensure sufficient comprehension of electric vehicle infrastructure installation and
safety practices. While training courses may use different thresholds (such as 75%
for quizzes), the official exam pass mark is 70% .
,QUESTION 2
How long is EVITP certification valid before it must be renewed?
A) 1 year
B) 2 years
C) 3 years

C) State-issued electrician license or 8,000 hours of documented electrical
construction experience
D) Completion of an OSHA 30-hour course
CORRECT ANSWER: C) State-issued electrician license or 8,000 hours of
documented electrical construction experience
EXPERT RATIONALE: EVITP requires participants to be state-licensed or certified
electricians. In states without licensing requirements, applicants must provide
documentation of a minimum of 8,000 hours of hands-on electrical construction
experience. This ensures that candidates have the foundational electrical
knowledge necessary to understand complex EVSE installations .
,QUESTION 4
Approximately how many hours of online instruction are required to complete the
EVITP training course?
A) 10 hours
B) 20 hours
C) 30 hours
D) 40 hours
CORRECT ANSWER: B) 20 hours
EXPERT RATIONALE: The EVITP online training course requires approximately 20
hours of instruction time, followed by a proctored online examination. The
combined training and exam process totals roughly 20 hours, with the course
costing $275 as of 2025 .
QUESTION 5
Which entity requires that at least one electrician on each crew installing CEC-
funded EV chargers must hold EVITP certification?

B) California Energy Commission (CEC)
C) Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA)
D) City & Guilds
CORRECT ANSWER: B) California Energy Commission (CEC)
EXPERT RATIONALE: California Public Utilities Code Section 740.20 mandates that
most EV chargers and equipment funded by the CEC or California Air Resources
Board must be installed by contractors with appropriate licenses, with at least one
electrician on each crew holding EVITP certification. For projects installing ports
supplying 25 kW or more, at least 25% of electricians on the crew must have EVITP
certification .
