Question 1
What is NOT an alternative to fossil fuels?
A. Gasoline
B. Electricity
C. Hydrogen
D. Biofuels
CORRECT ANSWER A. Gasoline
RATIONALE
Gasoline is a fossil fuel, not an alternative to fossil fuels. Alternatives include electricity,
hydrogen, biofuels, and other renewable energy sources.
, Question 2
The first EV can be traced back to:
A. 1832
B. 1890
C. 1900
D. 1920
CORRECT ANSWER A. 1832
RATIONALE
The first electric vehicle can be traced back to 1832, when Robert Anderson developed
the first crude electric carriage. Electric vehicles have been around longer than internal
combustion engine vehicles.
Question 3
What describes an advantage that hybrid EVs have over traditional gas-powered
vehicles?
A. Hybrid vehicles are more expensive than gas-powered vehicles
B. Hybrid vehicles have superior efficiency compared to gas-powered vehicles
C. Hybrid vehicles require less maintenance
D. Hybrid vehicles have better acceleration
CORRECT ANSWER
B. Hybrid vehicles have superior efficiency compared to gas-powered vehicles
RATIONALE
Hybrid EVs offer superior efficiency compared to traditional gas-powered vehicles by
using electric motors to supplement the internal combustion engine, reducing fuel
consumption and emissions.
, Question 4
What category of EV has been available to consumers the longest?
A. BEV
B. HEV
C. PHEV
D. FCEV
CORRECT ANSWER B. HEV
RATIONALE
HEVs (Hybrid Electric Vehicles) have been available to consumers the longest, with the
Toyota Prius introduced in 1997. BEVs and PHEVs gained popularity later.
Question 5
The first EV chargers were external and supplied DC current directly to the
vehicle's batteries. (T/F)
A. True
B. False
C. Only for commercial vehicles
D. Only for residential use
CORRECT ANSWER A. True
RATIONALE
The first EV chargers were external devices that supplied DC current directly to the
vehicle's batteries, bypassing onboard charging systems.
, Question 6
NECA 413-2012 contains _____ requirements for EVSE installation, covering
everything from planning an installation to ADA considerations and
commissioning process.
A. Basic
B. Complete
C. Performance-based
D. Suggested
CORRECT ANSWER C. Performance-based
RATIONALE
NECA 413-2012 contains performance-based requirements for EVSE installation,
covering all aspects from planning and design to ADA compliance and commissioning.
Question 7
When an EV and its EVSE is used as a power supply for an optional standby
system, requirements found in _____ are applied.
A. Article 700
B. Article 702
C. Article 704
D. Article 705
CORRECT ANSWER B. Article 702
RATIONALE
Article 702 of the NEC applies when an EV and EVSE are used as an optional standby
power supply system for backup power applications.
