 Exhibit 10.4 

PRIVATE PLACEMENT WARRANTS PURCHASE AGREEMENT 

THIS PRIVATE PLACEMENT WARRANTS PURCHASE AGREEMENT, dated as of [●], 2022 (as it may from time to time be amended, this
“Agreement”), is entered into by and between Ascendant Mobility Acquisition Corp I, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), and Ascendant Mobility Sponsor LP, a Cayman Islands exempted
limited partnership company (the “Purchaser”). 
 WHEREAS, the Company intends to consummate an initial public
offering of the Company’s units (the “Public Offering”), each unit consisting of one Class A Ordinary Share, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (an “Ordinary Share”), and one-half of
one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Ordinary Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per Ordinary Share. The Purchaser has agreed to purchase an aggregate of 13,000,000 warrants (or 14,575,000 in the aggregate
if the over-allotment option in connection with the Public Offering is exercised in full) (the “Private Placement Warrants”), each Private Placement Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one Ordinary Share at an exercise
price of $11.50 per Share. 
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained in this Agreement and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement hereby, intending legally to be bound, agree as follows: 

AGREEMENT

 B.    Purchase and Sale of the Private Placement Warrants.

price of $1.00 per warrant for an aggregate purchase price of $13,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”), which shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Company at least one business day prior to the
Initial Closing Date in accordance with the Company’s wiring instructions. On the Initial Closing Date, upon the payment by the Purchaser of the Purchase Price, the Company, at its option, shall deliver a certificate evidencing the Private

Section 3.    Representations and Warranties of the
Purchaser. As a material inducement to the Company to enter into this Agreement and issue and sell the Private Placement Warrants to the Purchaser, the Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company (which representations and
warranties shall survive each Closing Date) that: 
 A.    Organization and Requisite Authority. The Purchaser
possesses all requisite power and authority necessary to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 

B.    Authorization; No Breach. 

(i)    This Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its
terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equitable principles (whether considered in a
proceeding in equity or law). 
 (ii)    The execution and delivery by the Purchaser of this Agreement and the
fulfillment of and compliance with the terms hereof by the Purchaser does not and shall not as of each Closing Date conflict with or result in a breach by the Purchaser of the terms, conditions or provisions of any agreement, instrument, order,
judgment or decree to which the Purchaser is subject. 
 C.    Investment Representations. 

(i)    The Purchaser is acquiring the Private Placement Warrants and, upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants, the
Shares issuable upon such exercise (collectively, the “Securities”), for the Purchaser’s own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, any public sale or
distribution thereof. 
 (ii)    The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in
Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D, and the Purchaser has not experienced a disqualifying event as enumerated pursuant to Rule 506(d) of Regulation D under the Securities Act. 

(iii)    The Purchaser understands that the Securities are being offered and will be sold to it in reliance on specific
exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations and warranties of the
Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Purchaser to acquire such Securities. 

(iv)    The Purchaser did not decide to enter into this Agreement as a result of any general solicitation or general
advertising within the meaning of Rule 502(c) under the Securities Act. 
 (v)    The Purchaser has been furnished with
all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities which have been requested by the Purchaser. The Purchaser has been afforded the opportunity to ask
questions of the executive officers and directors of the Company. The Purchaser understands that its investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk and it has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary
to make an informed investment decision with respect to the acquisition of the Securities. 
 (vi)    The Purchaser
understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities by
the Purchaser nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities. 

(vii)    The Purchaser understands that: (a) the Securities have not been and are not being registered under the
Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (1) subsequently registered thereunder or (2) sold in reliance on an exemption therefrom; and (b) except as
specifically set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to 

  
 3 













 
register the Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder. While the Purchaser understands that Rule 144
is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies) or issuers that have been at any time previously a shell company, the Purchaser understands that Rule 144
includes an exception to this prohibition if the following conditions are met: (i) the issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company; (ii) the issuer of the securities is subject to the
reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”); (iii) the issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be
filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and (iv) at least one year has
elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company. 

(viii)    The Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters, knows of the high degree of
risk associated with investments in the securities of companies in the development stage such as the Company, is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities and is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in
the Securities in the amount contemplated hereunder for an indefinite period of time. The Purchaser has adequate means of providing for its current financial needs and contingencies and will have no current or anticipated future needs for liquidity
which would be jeopardized by the investment in the Securities. The Purchaser can afford a complete loss of its investment in the Securities. 

Section 4.    Conditions of the Purchaser’s

and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York. 

F.    Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or waived as to any particular provision, except by a
