Utilities and cities train contractors and technicians (known as trade allies) to install, repair, and maintain EV stations. The Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Training Program (EVITP) is a nonprofit, volunteer-driven industry collaborative. It’s made up of automotive manufacturers, electric utilities, EVSE manufacturers, educational institutions, and other EV stakeholders. EVITP offers a relatively low-cost training program ($275 per student) intended to teach existing certified electricians about EVs and their charging requirements.
