The entirely infeasibility and the incompetence or malice in the whole chain of people that pushed and approved this project qualifies it as a boondoggle.
In our local universe entropy must be preserved, and energy comes at a premium. That is the reason nobody have flying cars since they were envisioned in the 60s.
Same for hydrogen fuel cells, more realistic but still overhyped as it is not more efficient than simple battery, it has worse logistics and delivers less. The tech in terms of auto is now dying as reality is slamming into its face. And for the same reason (energy inefficiency and costs) this project will also die.
