EVITP EXAM 2026 ADVANCED
CERTIFICATION QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS
1. According to NEC Article 625.41, what is the required rating for an overcurrent protection
device (OCPD) for an EVSE circuit considered a continuous load?
A. 100% of the maximum load
B. 125% of the maximum load
C. 115% of the maximum load
D. 150% of the maximum load
Answer: B
Conceptual Explanation: NEC 625.41 specifies that the overcurrent protection for EVSE
must be sized at no less than 125 percent of the maximum load, as EV charging is defined as
a continuous load.
2. When installing a Level 2 EVSE in a parking garage, what is the minimum mounting height
for the coupling means above the floor for indoor locations?
A. 12 inches (305 mm)
,B. 18 inches (450 mm)
C. 24 inches (600 mm)
D. 36 inches (900 mm)
Answer: B
Conceptual Explanation: NEC 625.50 requires that the coupling means for indoor EVSE be
stored at a height of not less than 18 inches above the floor level.
3. Which NEC section addresses the requirement for an Automatic Load Management System
(ALMS) to limit the total load on a service or feeder?
A. 625.40
B. 625.54
C. 625.42
D. 625.60
Answer: C
Conceptual Explanation: NEC 625.42 allows for the use of an ALMS to limit the maximum
equipment load, provided the system is listed and the setting is restricted to authorized
personnel.
4. What is the primary function of the ‘Pilot’ signal in a J1772 charging connector?
A. To provide 120V AC power to the vehicle
B. To communicate maximum current capacity and charging state
, C. To ground the vehicle chassis
D. To initiate a DC fast charge sequence
Answer: B
Conceptual Explanation: The Pilot signal (Control Pilot) uses a 1kHz PWM signal to
communicate the maximum available current from the EVSE to the vehicle and monitors
the vehicle’s state (ready, charging, ventilation needed).
5. A 50-amp rated EVSE is connected to a circuit. What is the minimum wire size for the
branch circuit conductors if using THHN copper at 75°C terminals?
A. 6 AWG
B. 8 AWG
C. 4 AWG
D. 10 AWG
Answer: A
Conceptual Explanation: For a 50-amp load (continuous), the conductor must be rated for
62.5 amps (50 * 1.25). According to Table 310.16, 6 AWG copper at 75°C is rated for 65
amps.
6. In a commercial installation, what is the maximum reach distance for a wall-mounted EVSE
cord to be compliant with ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) guidelines?
A. 36 inches
