EVITP Final Exam Questions and Verified Answers
latest update 2026
1. If a business is planning to install EVSE but skips the onsite visit, what potential
issues might arise during installation?
Increased customer interest in the EVSE.
Faster installation time without the need for assessment.
Lower installation costs due to less planning.
Inadequate site preparation leading to safety hazards and
compliance issues.
2. If a business wants to implement EVSE and optimize its billing rates, what
steps should it take regarding utility requirements?
Gather and maintain accurate documentation of energy usage and
charging patterns.
Focus solely on marketing the EVSE to customers.
Neglect the need for compliance with electrical codes.
Install the EVSE without consulting the utility provider.
3. A key component of commissioning fleet EVSE is to ensure that the customer
understands how to manage the software.

,4. If a city plans to implement battery electric buses, which charging method
would be more beneficial for reducing downtime during peak hours, and
why?
Solar charging, because it is environmentally friendly.
Fast charging, because it can quickly charge the bus in a short time.
Wireless charging, because it allows for charging while the bus is in
service without needing to stop.
Plug-in charging, because it is the most common method used.
5. The purpose of the J1772 connector pins is to provide ?
a charging interface that is safe for consumers to use
a means to signal the EVSE to stop charging based on the pin contact
state
signals to the EVSE that the connector is properly seated on the
vehicle
all of the above
6. Describe how proper site lighting contributes to the overall safety of an EVSE
installation.
Proper site lighting is primarily for aesthetic purposes and does not
impact safety.
Proper site lighting only benefits the maintenance staff and not the
users.
Proper site lighting reduces energy consumption, making EVSE more
efficient.
Proper site lighting improves visibility, helping to prevent accidents
and ensuring users can safely access the charging stations.
,7. If an electric vehicle's state of charge drops below 20%, what actions should a
driver take to ensure optimal performance?
The driver should ignore the low charge and continue driving.
The driver should increase the vehicle's speed to conserve energy.
The driver should turn off all non-essential electrical systems.
The driver should find a charging station to recharge the battery.
8. Describe the role of Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) in the
charging process of battery electric vehicles.
EVSE is not necessary for charging battery electric vehicles.
EVSE is used only for hybrid vehicles.
EVSE is a type of battery used in electric vehicles.
EVSE provides the necessary infrastructure and equipment to safely
charge battery electric vehicles.
9. What is one key step involved in the repair process of an EVSE unit?
Installing new software
Replacing the entire unit
Diagnosing the issue
Ignoring the problem
10. Which of the following outlines the steps, in order, for repairing an EVSe
unit?
Inspect all components for damage, lockout EVSE, repair and
replace, disassemble EVSE
, Inspect all components for damage, repair or replace, disassemble
EVSE, lockout EVSE
Disassemble EVSE, lockout EVSE, inspect all components for
damage, repair or replace
Lockout EVSE, disassemble EVSE, inspect all components for
damage, repair and replace
11. What is one key requirement that utilities or municipalities may impose for the
installation of EVSE?
Use of non-renewable energy sources
Installation of solar panels
Placement in residential areas only
Adherence to electrical codes
12. Adequate lighting inside and outside a building
enhances safety
deters would-be intruders
makes detection of actual intruders more probable
all of the above
13. Describe how proper documentation contributes to the successful
implementation of EVSE.
Proper documentation provides necessary guidelines and
compliance information that facilitate effective installation and
operation of EVSE.
Proper documentation is irrelevant to the installation process.
Proper documentation is only useful for troubleshooting.
