Cant say much until it's actually announced.
That said, if they made ev tax cheaper by making icev tax more expensive, then they are being unfair to marhaen since there's no economical ev options plus the still poor ev infrastructure.

If they just make ev tax low, then they are missing out on revenue that can be used to improve ev infrastructure. Summore, when ev finally gain mass adoption, they would have to restructure the tax again. Not particularly a hard thing to do, just not elegant.

Not a tax expert but i would guess it's better to implement rebate, discount, or tax return for ev, structure a sensible tax for ev without messing with icev tax until the time comes.
More complex implementation, but much more flexible at a glance.

Government trying to encourage EV adoption.

In return people use less fuel. Less fuel less subsidy, less subsidy leak more savings in long term
