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.

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.
