Investors were bullish on Chinese electric vehicle stocks Monday morning after companies such as BYD, XPeng (XPEV), Li Auto (LI), and others released October delivery data late Friday.

XPeng said it set a new monthly record for deliveries at 23,917, a bump of 20% from last year. The uptick seemingly sent its U.S.-traded shares up around 6% Monday morning.
