ASE XEV2

It is an ASE certification test focused on the safety knowledge a technician needs when servicing electrified vehicles - high-voltage battery systems, hybrid and electric drive systems, power electronics, charging systems, and safe disablement and verification. ASE lists it under Certification Tests on ase.com alongside its other testing programs.

Those figures are not published in the source material reviewed here, so treat any number you see elsewhere with suspicion. Check the xEV Safety Testing page at ase.com/tests/x-ev and the ASE FAQs for the current item count and time limit before you schedule.

The passing score is not stated in the source text used for this page. ASE discusses test results in its FAQ section at ase.com/faqs, which is the authoritative place to confirm how scoring works and how results are reported to you.

ASE handles retakes and recertifications through its own policies, and the specifics are not given in the source material here. Review the ASE FAQ sections on test results and on renewals and recertifications, or contact ASE directly, before assuming a waiting period or fee.

Registration is handled by ASE: create or sign in to a myASE account, then use the Register Now link. You can locate a test center through ASE's Find a Test Center tool, or check whether online remote testing is available to you, along with the remote testing policies and procedures.

ASE publishes a Spanish Testing page and an ADA Accommodations page, and both are listed as testing options. If you need either, arrange it through ASE before scheduling rather than at the test center, and read the relevant policy pages so your request is filed correctly.

Work through the safety domain first: personal protective equipment, safe work practices, and disablement and verification procedures underpin everything else. Then move to battery systems, drive systems, power electronics, and charging. ASE offers study guides, an official practice test program, a free test drive, webinars, and ASE Campus training.

Common failure modes are procedural rather than theoretical: skipping verification steps after disablement, assuming a circuit is dead because a service plug was removed, mixing up isolation testing with resistance checks, and misjudging when a task must be refused outright. Study the sequence of each safety procedure, not just the components.

ASE issues certification under its own rules, and this page cannot grant or confirm status. Use myASE to check your certification status and the ASE Certification Pathway page to see how xEV testing fits with other ASE credentials. Confirm requirements with ASE directly.
