CERTIFIED EVSE INSTALLER LICENSING EXAM
COMPLETE 300 QUESTIONS WITH DETAILED
SOLUTIONS JUST RELEASED THIS YEAR
Certified EVSE Installer Licensing Exam – Summarized Exam Coverage
The Certified EVSE Installer credential typically refers to the EVITP (Electric Vehicle
Infrastructure Training Program) certification—the premier North American credential for
electricians and contractors who install, maintain, and commission Electric Vehicle Supply
Equipment (EVSE). Eligibility requires being a state-licensed/certified electrician or
documenting 8,000 hours of hands-on electrical construction experience. The certification
involves 20 hours of combined instruction and examination.
300 RANDOMIZED MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTIONS
DOMAIN 1: NEC ARTICLE 625 & ELECTRICAL CODES
1. What NEC article specifically governs electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE)?
• A) NEC Article 480
• B) NEC Article 625
• C) NEC Article 430
• D) NEC Article 690
1
SUCCESS!
,Page 2 of 154
Answer: B Article 625 of the National Electrical Code covers electric vehicle charging systems
and installation requirements for EVSE equipment.
2. According to NEC, conductors for EVSE shall be considered what type of load?
• A) Intermittent load
• B) Continuous load
• C) Non-continuous load
• D) Standby load
Answer: B EVSE is considered a continuous load because it operates for 3 hours or more
continuously.
3. What is the minimum circuit ampacity requirement for a continuous load such as EVSE?
• A) 100% of the load
• B) 115% of the load
• C) 125% of the load
2

,Page 3 of 154
• D) 150% of the load
Answer: C Circuit ampacity must be at least 125% of the continuous load per NEC 625.41.
4. What is the minimum circuit ampacity for a 40-amp EVSE?
• A) 40 A
• B) 45 A
• C) 50 A
• D) 60 A
Answer: C Circuit ampacity must be at least 125% of the continuous load; 40 A × 1.25 = 50 A.
5. Which organization publishes the National Electrical Code (NEC)?
• A) OSHA
• B) IEEE
• C) NFPA (National Fire Protection Association)
• D) NEMA
3
SUCCESS!
, Page 4 of 154
Answer: C The NFPA publishes the National Electrical Code (NEC), which defines safe electrical
installation practices.
6. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) are required for which EVSE installations according
to NEC 210.8?
• A) Outdoor installations only
• B) Commercial installations only
• C) Both indoor and outdoor installations where a risk of moisture exists
• D) No EVSE requires GFCIs
Answer: C GFCIs protect against electric shock in wet environments, which is critical for both
indoor and outdoor charging locations.
7. The 2026 NEC requires GFCI or SPGFCI for which EVSE installations?
• A) Only outdoor installations
• B) Only commercial installations
