Of course the incentive is towards cleaner alternatives, in my country is public transport (trains, trams and subway are electric here).

fiscal incentive for EV go straight to car producers pockets, I don't see the difference
taxing owners is a way to drive them to buy a different product, cheaper for the buyer and more profitable for the seller
it works both ways
So unless some of that tax is intended to be a carbon tax and works to incentive cleaner alternatives, then this is a pretty weak argument.
Also, the producers aren't paying he cost, end users are[1] and without much in the way of alternatives.
