Initiate (at NameCheap) a "pull" (transfer) into your NameCheap account, I would suspect ... of course, being liable for the min. one-year registration/renewal cost there at NameCheap, as well.
All the best!

Yes. You need to initiate a transfer from the registrar you wish to move the domain to. Make sure that the domain is currently unlocked at EV1 - if not the transfer will fail.
Look for the authorization code for your domain at ev1 (in Domain Extras, I think) and initiate the transfer from NameCheap. Add the auth code when requested and wait for either an email confirmation or simply a transfer of the domain without notice.
(In some cases, the transfer might be rejected but you should be given some sort of explanation if that happens.)
