A Fueled Passion in Electric Vehicle

A Fueled Passion in Electric Vehicle


Lee Cheuk Yin’s Story
Faculty of Engineering
BEng (EE)

When Hong Kong races towards the future and embraces innovation at every turn, you may wonder how an undergraduate student could add their unique spark to this dynamic endeavor of our city. Lee Cheuk Yin, Joe embarks on a journey in challenging the conventional norms of energy, and illuminates the path towards a sustainable future. With immense interest in electrical engineering and a vision for a greener tomorrow, he sets his sights firmly on revolutionizing the electric vehicle landscape.

Since his days in secondary school, Joe’s natural aptitude for physics and engineering has been unmistakable. Due to his great fascination with renewable energy and motor mechanics, electrical engineering is the field that perfectly suits his talents and interests. Observing the widespread adoption of solar energy in domestic settings like rooftops and rural areas, Joe entrepreneurially realized a glaring gap in solar utilization within the automotive sector. Therefore, he founded his own start-up during his university years, called SOWER Engineering Limited, with a mission to integrate solar panels with electric and hybrid vehicles.
