EVITP: ELECTRIC VEHICLE INFRASTRUCTURE TRAINING PROGRAM - COMPLETE
EXAM QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS - LATEST VERSION 2026/2027 PASS
GUARANTEE
1. Q: What does EVITP stand for? ANSWER Electric Vehicle Infrastructure
Training Program.
2. Q: What is the difference between a BEV and a PHEV? ANSWER BEV
(Battery Electric Vehicle) runs entirely on electricity with no internal
combustion engine. PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle) has a battery
pack and an internal combustion engine.
3. Q: What does MPGe stand for? ANSWER Miles Per Gallon equivalent. It
is a metric established by the EPA to compare the energy consumption of
EVs to gasoline cars.
4. Q: What is the primary function of the EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply
Equipment)? ANSWER To safely transfer electrical energy from the
power source to the vehicle’s battery pack while managing
communication, safety interlocks, and grounding.
5. Q: Level 1 charging typically operates at what voltage and amperage in
a residential setting in North America? ANSWER 120 Volts AC, typically
12 to 16 Amps.
6. Q: What is the standard nominal voltage for Level 2 charging? ANSWER
208 Volts or 240 Volts AC.
7. Q: Which level of charging is considered "DC Fast Charging"? ANSWER
Level 3.
8. Q: What is the SAE standard connector used for Level 1 and Level 2
charging on non-Tesla vehicles in North America? ANSWER SAE J1772 (J-
Plug).
9. Q: What is the NACS connector? ANSWER The North American
Charging Standard, originally developed by Tesla, now being adopted by
many other OEMs.
,10. Q: What does CCS stand for? ANSWER Combined Charging System.
11. Q: What does CHAdeMO stand for? ANSWER CHArge de MOve (a DC
fast charging standard primarily used by Japanese manufacturers like
Mitsubishi and Nissan).
12. Q: What is "Range Anxiety"? ANSWER The driver's fear that the
vehicle has insufficient energy to reach the destination or the next
charging station.
13. Q: What is the "state of charge" (SOC)? ANSWER The level of charge
of an electric battery relative to its capacity.
14. Q: What is regenerative braking? ANSWER A system that captures the
kinetic energy of the vehicle during braking/coasting and converts it back
into electrical energy to charge the battery.
15. Q: What is the primary difference between an AC charger and a DC
charger regarding where the conversion takes place? ANSWER In AC
charging, the inverter/rectifier is inside the vehicle (onboard charger). In
DC charging, the AC/DC conversion happens inside the charging station
(off-board).
SECTION 2: ELECTRICAL THEORY & SAFETY
16. Q: According to Ohm’s Law, what is the formula to calculate Power
(Watts)? ANSWER Power (P) = Voltage (E) x Current (I).
17. Q: In a single-phase circuit, how do you calculate power? ANSWER P
= E x I x PF (Power Factor).
18. Q: In a three-phase circuit, how do you calculate power? ANSWER P =
E x I x 1.732 x PF.
19. Q: What is the definition of "Continuous Load" according to the NEC?
ANSWER A load where the maximum current is expected to continue for 3
hours or more.
20. Q: What is the standard derating factor applied to branch circuits for
continuous loads? ANSWER 125% (The circuit capacity must be 125% of
the continuous load).
21. Q: What are the three main hazard categories of electricity? ANSWER
Shock, Arc Flash, and Arc Blast.
, 22. Q: What is the "Let-Go" threshold current for an average adult male?
ANSWER Approximately 16 mA (milliamps).
23. Q: What is the " fibrillation" threshold current? ANSWER
Approximately 75 mA to 100 mA (this can cause the heart to quiver
instead of pump, leading to death).
24. Q: What is an Arc Flash? ANSWER An explosive release of energy
caused by an electrical fault, resulting in intense heat, light, and pressure.
25. Q: What is the purpose of Lockout/Tagout (LOTO)? ANSWER To
ensure that hazardous energy sources are isolated and rendered
inoperative before maintenance work is performed.
26. Q: What ATPV rating is required for Category 2 PPE? ANSWER 8
cal/cm².
27. Q: What color background is used on Danger signs? ANSWER Red,
White, and Black.
28. Q: What color background is used on Caution signs? ANSWER Yellow
and Black.
29. Q: What type of fire extinguisher is required for electrical fires (Class
C)? ANSWER A clean agent extinguisher (CO2 or dry chemical), typically
Class ABC.
30. Q: What is the difference between a "Qualified Person" and an
"Unqualified Person" per OSHA? ANSWER A Qualified Person has training
and knowledge in the construction and operation of the equipment and
hazards involved. An Unqualified Person has little or no such training.
SECTION 3: NEC ARTICLE 625 (WIRING METHODS)
31. Q: Which NEC Article covers Electric Vehicle Charging? ANSWER
Article 625.
32. Q: What is the voltage rating for electric vehicle supply equipment
typically covered in Art 625? ANSWER Up to 600 volts, AC or DC.
33. Q: Does Article 625 apply to residential garages? ANSWER Yes, it
applies to all locations: residential, commercial, and industrial.
34. Q: According to NEC 625.22, what is required for the disconnecting
means for EVSE? ANSWER It must be within sight of the EVSE (or
