Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Station Certification

Beginning January 1, 2024, EV charging stations that are funded or authorized by an Oregon state agency must be installed by a licensed contractor that holds either an Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Training Program (EVITP) certification or equivalent training program certification. This requirement does not apply to EV charging stations installed at single-family dwellings, townhouses, or multi-unit dwellings with four or fewer residential units. Additional requirements apply.

The Oregon Electrical and Elevator Board may audit EVITP to ensure that it includes the most current national electrical codes and best practices for the installation of EV charging stations.
