Verify Your Electrician's Credentials
Before hiring an electrician for your EV charger installation, verify their EVITP certification and state license. Protect yourself and ensure quality work.
Verify EVITP Certification
EVITP (Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Training Program) is the industry standard for EV charger installation expertise. All ChargeRight assessors hold EVITP certification.
Why EVITP Matters
- 18-20 hours of specialized EV charger installation training
- Includes NEC load calculation certification
- Required for California EV charger incentive programs
- Developed by IBEW, automakers, and utilities
Verify State Electrical License
Every state has different licensing requirements for electrical contractors. Use the tool below to verify your electrician's license with your state's licensing board.
Note: Some states don't have statewide electrical licensing. In these states, check with your local municipality or county for contractor registration requirements.
Questions to Ask Your Electrician
Before hiring, ask these questions to ensure you're getting a qualified professional:
Which NEC calculation method are you using—Standard or Optional (220.82)?
What's your EVITP certification number?
Have you installed EV chargers in homes with 100-amp panels?
What load management alternatives exist to panel upgrades?
Can you show me the load calculation in writing?
