Sure, but problems are rarely solved overnight. It will probably be a decade before its ready for production to start with. But just because its going to take a while doesn't mean it shouldn't be attempted. And it could have a fairly quick ramp up too, if it proves to be viable. The key problem is the chicken and the egg scenario that any alternative fuel faces: without infrastructure, nobody will buy the cars and without the cars, nobody will build the infrastructure. But if millions are being spent right now on charging stations, that money could easily be switched to building these things. You'd need a few small ones in an area to start with, then as demand grows, build more (and bigger) stations.
