Xpeng Motors, the Chinese electric carmaker planning another fundraising round, said it has produced 10,000 sport utility vehicles.

The company, which is backed by e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding Ltd., said in a statement it built its 10,000th G3 SUV in the city of Zhengzhou.

Among the hundreds of EV startups in China, only a few including NIO Inc. and WM Motor Technology Co. have also hit that production mark.
