Find EVITP-certified EV charger installers in 5 US cities. Every electrician verified against the EVITP directory and state licensing boards.

What Is EVITP Certification?

The Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Training Program (EVITP) trains and certifies electricians specifically for EV charging station installation. EVITP-certified installers have completed coursework covering NEC Article 625, load management, network configuration, and manufacturer-specific requirements for Level 2 and DC fast chargers.

Our directory verifies every EVITP claim against the official EVITP directory and cross-references state electrical licensing boards. Installers without EVITP certification are included but clearly distinguished by tier.

Why EVITP Certification Matters

Installing an EV charging station is an electrical project with requirements that go beyond standard residential wiring. EVITP-certified electricians have completed coursework covering NEC Article 625 (Electric Vehicle Charging System Equipment), load management to protect your panel from overload, network configuration for smart chargers, and manufacturer-specific requirements for the major Level 2 and DC fast charger brands.

A poorly installed charger can create fire risk, void the charger warranty, and fail inspection — preventing you from claiming utility rebates that require permitted installation. EVITP certification is not a license substitute (you still need a licensed electrician), but it verifies that the electrician has EV-specific training on top of their base electrical credentials.

Level 2 vs. DC Fast Charging Installation

A Level 2 charger operates on 240V AC and typically delivers 25–50 miles of range per hour of charging, making it suitable for overnight home charging. Most EVs accept Level 2 charging. Installation requires a dedicated 40–50 amp circuit and a compatible EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) unit. The process is similar to installing a large appliance circuit and typically takes 2–4 hours for a straightforward panel upgrade.

DC fast charging (DCFC), also called Level 3, requires three-phase commercial power and significant infrastructure investment — typically $10,000–$50,000 or more — making it impractical for residential installation. DCFC is primarily deployed by businesses and charging networks. Our directory focuses on residential and small-commercial Level 2 installers, which represents the realistic need for most EV owners.

Rebates and Incentives for EV Charger Installation

Federal, state, and utility incentives can significantly reduce the cost of EV charger installation. The federal Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit (Form 8911) offers a 30% tax credit on the cost of equipment and installation, up to $1,000 for individuals. Many states offer additional credits or rebates, and most major utilities have their own rebate programs for residential Level 2 charger installation.

Most incentive programs require that the installation be permitted and performed by a licensed electrician. Some utility rebates additionally require specific charger models or smart-charger functionality that enables load management. Check the AFDC Alternative Fuels Station Locator at afdc.energy.gov and your utility’s website for current program details before purchasing equipment, as rebate structures change frequently.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is EVITP certification?
EVITP stands for Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Training Program. It is a certification for licensed electricians who have completed specialized coursework in EV charging station installation, covering NEC Article 625, load management, network configuration for smart chargers, and manufacturer-specific requirements. EVITP certification verifies EV-specific competency on top of a base electrical license; it does not replace the underlying electrician’s license requirement.
How much does it cost to install a Level 2 EV charger?
Total installed cost for a Level 2 home charger typically ranges from $500 to $2,000, depending on the distance from the panel to the installation location, whether a panel upgrade is needed, local labor rates, and the charger hardware selected. The hardware itself commonly costs $200–$700. Federal and utility rebates can offset $200–$1,000 of the total cost for qualifying installations. Get at least two written quotes before proceeding.
Do I need a permit to install an EV charger at home?
Yes, in virtually all U.S. jurisdictions. A Level 2 charger installation requires a dedicated 240V circuit, which is classified as electrical work requiring a permit and inspection in nearly every state and municipality. Permitted installation is also a requirement for most federal and utility rebate programs. An electrician who suggests skipping the permit to save time or money is creating liability for the homeowner and may disqualify you from available incentives.
What’s the difference between Level 2 and DC fast charging?
Level 2 charging uses 240V AC power and typically delivers 20–50 miles of range per hour, making it suitable for overnight home charging. DC fast charging (Level 3) converts power to DC before it enters the vehicle, delivering hundreds of miles of range per hour, but requires three-phase commercial power infrastructure and costs tens of thousands of dollars to install. Level 2 is the appropriate choice for virtually all residential and small-business installations.
Are there rebates available for EV charger installation?
Yes. The federal Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit (IRS Form 8911) offers a 30% tax credit on equipment and installation costs, up to $1,000 for individuals. Many states offer additional credits, and most major electric utilities have rebate programs for residential Level 2 charger installation. Rebate availability and amounts change frequently; check the Alternative Fuels Data Center at afdc.energy.gov and your utility’s website for current programs before purchasing equipment.
