What evitp does

EVITP (Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Training Program) is a brand-neutral, volunteer-based non-profit organization headquartered at 811 N. Main Street, Suite 202, Royal Oak, Michigan. It provides training and certification for licensed electricians installing electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) across the United States and Canada. The organization is governed by an industry collaborative whose partner advisors include automakers (General Motors, BMW North America), utilities (Pacific Gas & Electric, DTE Energy, Duke Energy, Southern California Edison, Consumers Energy), EVSE manufacturers (Schneider Electric, General Electric, Leviton, ClipperCreek, EATON, Hubbell, Milbank Manufacturing), and professional associations (NFPA, NECA, NJATC, IAEI), as well as educational institutions such as the University of California-Davis PHEV Research Center.

The core product is the EVITP Training Program: a 20-hour online course built on the proprietary EVITP 5.0 curriculum, followed by a live proctored online certification exam requiring a 70% passing score. The curriculum covers Level 1 through DC Ultra Fast Chargers, vehicle-to-grid applications, inductive charging, liquid-cooled conductors, NEC and NFPA 70E standards, utility interconnect policies, demand response integration, and customer relations. Certification is valid for three years, after which electricians may complete a condensed or full recertification course. Supporting services include the Certification Check database (a public verification tool for USA and Canada), the Find A Contractor directory (state-organized listings of EVITP-Approved contractors), the TVA Scholarship Program ($775 stipends in the TVA service territory), and the Electric Fast Track workforce development initiative launched in February 2024 with MUST Workforce Solutions and Siemens Foundation.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time training course fees (currently $275, increasing to $350 on October 1, 2026) and recurring recertification fees. EVITP does not publicly disclose revenue, has no disclosed funding rounds or parent organization, and operates with no apparent VC or PE ownership. Distribution is fully self-serve through the evitp.org website and db.evitp.org application portal, with channel reach extended via the NETCO partnership for Canada and TVA for workforce recruitment in its service territory.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• National Electrical Training Alliance (NETCO): NETCO is EVITP's designated channel partner for Canada and an industry-recognized electrical training alliance that delivers curriculum for the electrical construction trades. It is directly comparable because it provides electrician apprenticeship and continuing-education programs that overlap with EVITP's EVSE installation training.
• National Fire Protection Association (NFPA): NFPA publishes the National Electrical Code and NFPA 70E standards embedded in EVITP's curriculum, and offers its own training and certification programs for electrical professionals. It is a peer because EVITP's training content is fundamentally built around NFPA standards, and NFPA competes in the electrical safety training and certification market.
• Independent Electrical Contractors (IEC): IEC is a national trade association that runs apprenticeship and continuing education programs for electricians, including emerging-technology courses. It is comparable to EVITP because it certifies electricians through structured training and represents a competing path for EVSE installation credentials.
• International Association of Electrical Inspectors (IAEI): IAEI provides training, certification, and code-council services for electrical inspectors and installers. It is a peer because it operates in the same electrical safety and installation training ecosystem as EVITP and serves overlapping stakeholder groups.
• National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA): NECA is a primary EVITP partner advisor and runs apprenticeship and training programs through the NJATC for electrical contractors. It is comparable to EVITP because it shapes electrician training standards and is a competing source of EV-related curriculum for contractors.
• Lincoln Tech: Lincoln Tech is a for-profit vocational and technical school that trains electricians and HVAC technicians across multiple U.S. campuses. It is comparable to EVITP because it is a competing vocational pathway into the electrician trade that could expand into EVSE-specific modules.
• Penn Foster: Penn Foster is an online vocational and trade school offering self-paced electrician and electronics programs. It is comparable to EVITP because it shares an online, self-serve delivery model for adult learners pursuing trade credentials.

Broad incumbents

• ChargePoint: ChargePoint is a leading EVSE manufacturer that runs its own installer certification and training programs for electricians deploying its hardware. It is comparable to EVITP because it is both an EVITP partner advisor and a competing training source that OEMs may preferentially direct contractors toward.
• Tesla Energy / Tesla Certification Program: Tesla runs proprietary installer certification for Powerwall, Solar Roof, and Wall Connector deployments through Tesla Energy. It is comparable to EVITP because it competes in the EV/EVSE and adjacent DER installer certification market and can absorb electricians into a single-vendor training track.

Emerging players

• Home Builders Institute (HBI): HBI is a nonprofit workforce development organization that trains workers for residential construction trades, with growing programs in electrification and energy efficiency. It is comparable to EVITP because it operates as a nonprofit, partnership-driven training provider targeting trade workers in residential construction markets overlapping with EVITP's residential EVSE segment.
