Canoo (NASDAQ:GOEV) stock is climbing higher on Monday as investors react to news of a new order for the company’s electric vehicles (EVs).

The big news investors in GOEV stock need to know about is Kingbee ordering 9,300 EVs made by Canoo. Investors will also want to pay attention to an option in that order to increase the total number to 18,600 EVs.

“Canoo’s proprietary platform and tophat technology enables Kingbee to adapt their fleet for evolving use cases at a class leading ROI, while allowing their customers to benefit from a vehicle, that is engineered for workers and optimized for ergonomics, with superior visibility, maneuverability and safety.”
