Section 1: EVITP Foundations & Electric Vehicle Overview
Q1: An electrical contractor wants to lead EVSE installations for commercial fleet depots.
Which credential most directly validates competency aligned with NEC Article 625 and
EVSE-specific installation practices?
A. A. Master Electrician license alone
B. B. EVITP Certified Electrician credential *[CORRECT]*
C. C. NABCEP Solar PV Installer credential
D. D. OSHA 30-Hour Construction card
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The EVITP (Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Training Program) credential was developed
specifically to certify electricians in the safe, code-compliant installation of EVSE, with explicit
alignment to NEC Article 625 requirements. A Master Electrician license (A) is required legally but
does not by itself demonstrate EVSE-specific competency. NABCEP (C) addresses solar PV, not EV
charging. OSHA 30 (D) certifies general construction safety awareness, not EVSE installation
knowledge.
Q2: A customer asks why their PHEV cannot use DC fast charging at a public station. Which
explanation best reflects EVITP foundational EV terminology?
A. A. PHEVs use only 480V three-phase AC input directly
B. B. PHEVs lack the onboard DC-to-AC inverter required
C. C. PHEVs have no high-voltage DC charging port, only an AC Level 1/2 inlet
*[CORRECT]*
D. D. PHEVs use CHAdeMO exclusively and require an adapter
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) typically features a smaller battery and an AC
Level 1/Level 2 (SAE J1772) inlet only; it lacks the DC fast-charge inlet and onboard fast-charge
controller required for DCFC. PHEVs run on AC charging (A is wrong about 480V AC input). The
inverter (B) converts DC battery energy to AC for the motor, not for charging. CHAdeMO (D) is a
DC fast-charge connector not generally fitted to PHEVs.

Q3: An EVITP-certified installer completed initial certification in 2021. Under typical EVITP
recertification policy, what is the standard action required to maintain active certification
into 2027?
A. A. Retake the full exam every 2 years
B. B. Complete continuing education hours and renew every 3 years *[CORRECT]*
C. C. Submit employer references only once every 5 years
D. D. Recertification is lifetime and requires no action
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: EVITP certification generally requires renewal every three years, supported by
documented continuing education covering NEC updates and emerging EVSE technologies. Full
re-examination (A) is not required for active renewal. Employer references (C) alone are insufficient
and the 5-year interval does not match EVITP policy. Lifetime certification (D) contradicts the
program's continuing competency model.
Q4: A fleet manager is comparing BEV, HEV, PHEV, and FCEV options for delivery vans.
Which statement is accurate per EVITP EV-type definitions?
A. A. HEVs plug into external AC power to charge the battery
B. B. BEVs use both gasoline and battery power in parallel
C. C. FCEVs generate electricity onboard from hydrogen and emit only water vapor
*[CORRECT]*
D. D. PHEVs require hydrogen refueling infrastructure
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV) uses a hydrogen fuel cell stack to generate
electricity onboard, emitting only water vapor as byproduct, so (C) is correct. HEVs (A) charge only
through regenerative braking and the engine; they cannot plug in. BEVs (B) operate on battery-only
power with no gasoline engine. PHEVs (D) plug into the grid; they do not use hydrogen.
Q5: A utility program manager is mapping stakeholders in a regional EV charging
ecosystem. Which group is correctly identified as the entity typically responsible for
utility-side service upgrades and demand response programs?
A. A. EVSE manufacturers
B. B. Local electrical inspector
C. C. Electric utility provider *[CORRECT]*
D. D. Site host/customer
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The electric utility owns and operates distribution infrastructure, performs service
upgrades, and administers demand response and time-of-use programs, making (C) correct. EVSE
manufacturers (A) produce equipment; the inspector (B) enforces code compliance; the site host (D)
owns the installation. None of these provide utility-side service or demand response programs.

Q6: A customer purchases a BEV and asks the EVITP installer to explain residential
charging options. The customer has a 240V, 40A dryer-style circuit available. Which EVSE
type best matches this circuit per EVITP training?
A. A. Level 1 (120V AC, 1.4 kW)
B. B. Level 2 (208/240V AC, up to 19.2 kW) *[CORRECT]*
C. C. DC Fast Charging Level 3 (480V DC)
D. D. Megawatt Charging System (MCS)
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Level 2 EVSE operates on a 208/240V AC dedicated circuit and supports charging up to
19.2 kW (80A), making it the correct match for a 240V/40A circuit. Level 1 (A) uses 120V and only
~1.4 kW. DC fast charging (C) requires 480V three-phase DC infrastructure, not available in
residences. MCS (D) targets heavy-duty commercial vehicles at megawatt scale.
Q7: A municipality evaluates EV adoption barriers per EVITP curriculum. Which
combination of barriers is most accurately identified for residential market adoption?
A. A. Range anxiety, charging infrastructure gaps, higher upfront cost *[CORRECT]*
B. B. Lack of standardized connectors, excess public chargers, low fuel prices
C. C. Vehicle weight, hydrogen availability, gasoline subsidies
D. D. Battery recycling networks, fleet oversupply, low electricity rates
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: EVITP identifies range anxiety, insufficient public charging infrastructure, and higher
upfront vehicle cost as primary residential adoption barriers, so (A) is correct. (B) is wrong because
standardized connectors (J1772, CCS, NACS) exist and there is no excess of public chargers. (C)
misattributes hydrogen and gasoline factors to BEV adoption. (D) invents non-barriers.
Q8: An EVITP candidate is studying environmental benefits. Which statement most
accurately quantifies an environmental benefit of transportation electrification?
A. A. EVs eliminate all particulate brake dust through regenerative braking
B. B. EVs produce zero tailpipe emissions and reduce well-to-wheel GHG when powered
by renewable generation *[CORRECT]*
C. C. EVs reduce atmospheric water vapor compared to ICE vehicles
D. D. EV batteries are 100% recyclable with zero environmental impact
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: EVs produce no tailpipe emissions, and when charged from renewable generation they
significantly reduce well-to-wheel greenhouse gas emissions, so (B) is correct. Regenerative braking
(A) reduces but does not eliminate brake particulate. Water vapor (C) is not a meaningful metric.
Battery recycling (D) is advancing but not yet 100% with zero impact.

Q9: A workplace facility plans 12 dual-port Level 2 stations. Which EVITP stakeholder role
is correctly assigned to the property owner / site host?
A. A. Owns and maintains utility distribution feeders
B. B. Issues electrical permits and performs inspections
C. C. Provides site access, funds installation, and owns the EVSE assets *[CORRECT]*
D. D. Sets National Electrical Code revisions
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The site host (property owner/employer) provides the site, funds the installation, and
owns the EVSE assets, so (C) is correct. The utility (A) owns distribution feeders. The Authority
Having Jurisdiction / inspector (B) issues permits and inspects. The NEC (D) is revised by NFPA
consensus committees, not the site host.
Q10: An EVITP-certified contractor is bidding on a federal workplace charging project.
Which federal incentive most directly offsets installation costs for EVSE at workplace sites?
A. A. Section 30C Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit *[CORRECT]*
B. B. Federal HOV-lane access program
C. C. EPA fuel economy sticker program
D. D. Federal tire excise tax
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: IRC Section 30C provides a federal tax credit for qualified alternative fuel vehicle
refueling property, including workplace EVSE, making (A) correct. HOV-lane access (B) is a
state-permit benefit, not an installation cost offset. The EPA fuel economy sticker (C) is a labeling
program. The tire excise tax (D) is unrelated.
Q11: A retail site operator wants to attract EV drivers but is unsure about public charging
networks. Which EVITP-correct statement describes a public charging network?
A. A. Public charging networks always provide free Level 3 charging
B. B. Public charging networks operate pay-per-use DCFC and Level 2 stations
accessible via RFID, app, or credit card *[CORRECT]*
C. C. Public charging networks only serve registered fleet vehicles
D. D. Public charging networks require a utility-owned vehicle to access
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Public charging networks (e.g., Electrify America, EVgo, ChargePoint) operate
pay-per-use Level 2 and DCFC stations accessible via RFID cards, mobile apps, or credit card
payment, making (B) correct. (A) is wrong because most public DCFC is paid. (C) and (D) wrongly
restrict access; public networks serve any EV driver.
