EVITP EXAM FINAL PRACTICE EXAM QUESTIONS
WITH CORRECT ANSWERS AND RATIONALES JUST
RELEASED THIS YEAR
Domain 1: EVSE Technology & Charging Levels (Questions 1-50)
1. What does the acronym EVSE stand for?
• A) Electric Vehicle Service Equipment
• B) Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment
• C) Electric Vehicle System Electronics
• D) Electric Vehicle Safety Equipment
Answer: B (EVSE is defined in NEC Article 100 as equipment that conducts energy from the
premises wiring to the electric vehicle, including the power block, pedestal, charging cables,
wiring, and accessories necessary for energy transfer.)
2. What is the primary purpose of the SAE J1772 standard?
• A) To define the communication protocol between EV and charger

• B) To standardize the physical connector and electrical interface for Level 1 and Level 2
AC charging
• C) To regulate DC fast charging stations
• D) To specify battery requirements for EVs
Answer: B (SAE J1772 is the North American standard that defines the physical connector,
electrical interface, and control signaling for conductive AC charging of electric vehicles at Levels
1 and 2.)
3. A Level 1 EV charger operates at what voltage?
• A) 120 VAC
• B) 208 VAC
• C) 240 VAC
• D) 480 VAC
Answer: A (Level 1 charging uses a standard 120-volt AC household outlet (NEMA 5-15 or 5-20).
It provides approximately 1.4 kW to 1.9 kW of power, adding about 3-5 miles of range per hour.)
4. A Level 2 EV charger typically operates at what voltage?
2
SUCCESS!
,Page 3 of 155
• A) 120 VAC
• B) 208-240 VAC
• C) 480 VAC
• D) 600 VDC
Answer: B (Level 2 charging operates at 208-240 VAC and provides 3.3 kW to 19.2 kW of power,
adding approximately 10-60 miles of range per hour depending on the amperage and vehicle
capability.)
5. What is the maximum charging rate for a Level 3 (DC Fast Charging) station?
• A) 7.2 kW
• B) 19.2 kW
• C) 50 kW to 350 kW
• D) 1 MW
Answer: C (DC Fast Charging (Level 3) provides 50 kW to 350 kW of power, charging a vehicle to
80% in 15-30 minutes. The maximum rate depends on the station and vehicle capability.)

6. What does regenerative braking do in an electric vehicle?
• A) Reduces brake pad wear only
• B) Captures kinetic energy and converts it back into electrical energy to recharge the
battery
• C) Increases vehicle acceleration
• D) Reduces tire wear
Answer: B (Regenerative braking recovers energy normally lost as heat during braking,
converting kinetic energy into electrical energy to recharge the vehicle's battery, extending
driving range.)
7. Which component converts DC power from the battery to AC power for the electric motor?
• A) Rectifier
• B) Inverter
• C) Converter
• D) Transformer
