XPeng Inc XPEV shares are moving higher Monday after the company said it received more than 25,000 pre-sale orders in China for its G6 SUV in just three days.

What Happened: XPeng’s new G6 SUV, which was unveiled at Auto Shanghai in April and became available for pre-order at the end of last week, received more than 25,000 orders within 72 hours, the company said via tweet.
