The Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Training Program Fund (EVITP Fund) 2.0

Purpose: ETP is administering the Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Training Program Fund (EVITP Fund) 2.0 in collaboration with the California Energy Commission (CEC) and is pleased to announce the availability of approximately $2,700,000 in funding to increase the number of electricians certified through EVITP within California. The purpose of the EVITP Fund is to train and certify electricians to install electric vehicle charging equipment statewide. EVITP is a nonprofit organization that provides online proprietary training and certification for general electricians to install electric vehicle supply equipment in the United States and Canada. The $275 online training program takes approximately 20 hours to complete. Curriculum modules include load requirements, electrical codes and regulations, electric installation of direct current chargers, inductive charging, vehicle-to-grid applications, and best practices for charger installation and maintenance. After successful completion of the online training course, electricians are certified through a proctored online examination. EVITP does not train or certify contractors or employers, only eligible electricians. EVITP certification is valid for three years.
