The results follow a strong September for all three China EV stocks, as China auto sales continue to recover.

Most of the U.S.-listed China electric car stocks disclose third-quarter earnings in the next couple weeks. Nio reports Nov. 17, Li Auto Nov. 13, Xpeng Motors Nov. 12 and Kandi Nov. 9.

Nio, Xpeng Motors, Li Auto and BYD (BYDDF) have all ramped up China sales in recent months. Meanwhile, despite several price cuts, Tesla China sales have flattened in the last few months, according to official data. Tesla is now exporting some made-in-China Model 3 sedans to Europe.

Nio Stock, Electric Car Stocks

Shares of Nio surged 7.9% to 32.99 in early Monday stock market trading. Nio stock is extended from a 15.55 buy point, meaning shares are not in buy range.

Xpeng stock advanced 6.5% to 20.65 in the premarket, moving toward a 23.20 early entry.

Li Auto stock climbed 5.9% to 21.56. That's not far from a 21.96 buy point from a deep cup-with-handle base. Among other electric car stocks, Tesla, which reports deliveries quarterly, added 1.2% and BYD was quiet. China-based Kandi (KNDI) gained 2.2% to 6.40 early Monday.

Auto sales have rebounded in China, the world's largest electric car market, after a pandemic slump at the start of the year. At the same time, soaring Tesla and Nio shares fueled billion-dollar IPOs for new electric car stocks Li Auto and Xpeng Motors.
