       Summary
       Our Company, page 2

   1.                                                   Please provide expanded
disclosure of the relationship between InterPrivate IV and
                                                        the family offices you

Please provide similar disclosure in the "Proposed Business" section

The Offering, page 9

2.       We note that you are registering the offering of the shares of common
stock underlying
         the warrants because the warrants may be exercisable within one year.
However, your
         disclosure reflects that as soon as practicable, but in no event later
than 20 business days
         after the closing of your business combination you have agreed to file
a new or post
         effective amendment to the registration statement. Please clarify your
disclosure under
         Summary, Risk Factors and Description of Securities regarding the
current registration of
         shares underlying the warrants and your plans to file Section 10(a)(3)
updates.
3.       We note your disclosures on page 25 that there will be no restrictions
of payments
         to insiders and that you expect payment of consulting fees, success or
finder fees to your
         sponsor officers, directors, initial stockholders or affiliates. This
disclosure contradicts
         disclosure on page 112 which indicates that no compensation of any
kind, including
         finders fees and consulting fees will be paid by the company to any
sponsor, executive
         officer, director or respective affiliate. Please revise to address
the apparent contradiction
         or provide clarification.

Conflicts of Interest, page 25

4.       Please expand your disclosures concerning conflicts of interest to
indicate that
         Ahmed Fattouh and Brandon Bentley, are also managers of InterPrivate
LLC, as noted on
         pages 105 and 106. Where appropriate, please provide similar
disclosure, including your
         risk factor disclosures.
5.       Please expand your disclosure to also identify the following as
conflicts of interest:
             the difference in investment per share paid by your founders; and
             the founder shares and warrants will be worthless in the event a
business
             combination is not completed and you liquidate.
Summary Financial Data, page 28

6.       Please explain why you are presenting liability and redeemable
ordinary share balances
         for January 13, 2021 as adjusted, that are different from those
presented on page 70.
